I don't think either the tech or the humans are quite ready for this
yet. The way to go is the Amazon way in the states where the cameras
and other sensors can keep track of what you get and charge you with
no interaction whatsoever.

I'd really like to test that and see if it works accurately.

I suspect not

Yeah, can't see how it can even if the trolley weighs itself
continuously, particularly with loose veg and fruit etc.

presumably there is no loose veg

Cant see that being viable with lettuce and cabbage etc.

why ever not?

Obviously the pack size will be one (and the price will be per unit not per
kilo)

but some shops rund ere pack and price them that way

The cabbages in particular can range from football sized to ones barely
bigger than a tennis ball, all for the same price. I refuse to buy unless I
get the football, but others are obviously not so choosey.

More doesn't always mean better. This is one reason why some go to fruit and veg stalls becaus ethe produce is better than the supermarkets wrapped and waxed fruit and it's cheaper too.
