How it works sections aren't designed for the technically inclined user they are designed for the layman.

  They don't have to get intensely technical but they could say a little more than basically, "magic".

    Except to a layman it is basically magic. Using X technology we did Y so you can do Z. I'm sure in coming months you'll get the in depth technical explanation you are looking for but this announcement isn't for you it's for the average person.

      That's a rather defeatist attitude to have about explaining technology to laymen. For example (not saying this is how it actually works): "Scanning your phone when you enter lets us know who you are. Then, our advanced vision tracking system follows you around the store and lets us see what you're choosing. Finally, scanners in our turnstiles verify your purchases as you're leaving the store."

        This is an advertisement announcement not a technical breakdown. There is no need to even say that much.
