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?


Those have to be loose.


no they don't

they can be wrapped individually

yes, it's a waste of the wrapping material, but if you want an automated
till what choice is there?
