It should really allow you to continue scanning but prevent you from paying until the associate confirms that you're not stealing. That's 90% of the issue with the weight sensors -- the sensor stops me from moving forward with other purchases because it's making me wait for someone to check my stuff. But if they left the notification on while I continued to scan that would eliminate my issues with it entirely. Then they wouldn't need to rely on flaky AI. The other issue I have is that the barcode scanners are not activated until the weight sensor settles out, which can take several seconds up to a minute, so it's way slower than going to a checker. If the weight sensor didn't gate barcode scanner activation I would have a much better experience. All they really need to do is verify the weight of the total transaction and have the associate check on any discrepancies. And they can probably use a very noisy weight signal with a low-pass filter. They don't need to blow a ton of money on an AI solution that is about the same level of inconvenient. If I had 10 or 20 million dollars I'd build a better self-checkout.
