And I guess they really care about cost too, because if they wanted it as easy as possible, it would have a treadmill and a box with a 360° barcode scanner or something and the person could be spared from the whole bagging area thing.
But yeah, that simplification and accessibility ends up being what alienates me because of how significant it is. Hopefully there are enough of us that they’ll keep some cashiers around.
Decathlon is a step back from that. They have Rfid tags but you have to put them in the box that scans them. They have a barcode scanner for items that are too big for the box.
They have to do this because the average shopper has negative IQ. These machines need to be as simple to use as possible.
They done failed.

A store near me has RFID tags on all products, and simply approaching the self-checkout machine is enough to have all products detected.

I was thinking of Decathlon. You’re right, items must be placed in the box.
On one hand, that’s handy.
On the other hand, that’s so much ewaste…
