Practically every decent size market in the US has had self-checkout for many years. That's not a new phenomenon. There's still a staff member monitoring, but they are overseeing a dozen terminals and their job is about helping customers that run into some kind of snag, not catching shoplifters. This newer idea seems to be small markets with no staff at all on site. Though it's not that new, we've had Avanti Markets at my workplace for a number of years now, and it's an honor system.

> Though it's not that new, we've had Avanti Markets at my workplace for a number of years now, and it's an honor system. We got them at my workplace a couple years ago. In the case of Avanti, I feel it's different. Getting caught stealing from Avanti could cost you your job. I wouldn't risk my job for a ham sandwich.
