you carry a scanner gun with you around the store scanning items as you put them in your cart. then it takes the guns results and weighs the cart, and assuming they are within tolerances, lets you bag, pack up and leave. of course, things aren't always within tolerances, but generally they seem to be.

Generally larger families and hence much bigger purchases so normal checkout takes longer.
