Have you tried NO check-out stores? (you walk in / out without scanning goods)

On a small scale (corner shop model) a good idea if billed correctly. ON a big scale (supermarket size) could be a kerfuffle if billed incorrectly tracking/disputing a long list.

My son and his wife use this system at our local Asda.
I wont sign up for it as i think it's the way of using less people to employ, 
less work for humans if that makes sense.

I haven't, but I watched a video about it a while ago and it looks interesting. I'd probably give it a go, though I don't know too much about how it works!

(1) There’s the stores that allow you to pack a bag, tracks what you buy and bill you later.

(2) Other stores you scan n pack though pay before leaving the stores. (Risk of a spot check though, they do random scans to see if those are paid for)

What an interesting idea. I’ve never tried a no check out store, although I would be open to trying it. Yes, I think somewhere like a petrol station this will be useful, although for big purchases it might become a nightmare.
