Definitely not failing in New Zealand. More being installed at large retailers all the time. Even smaller grocery stores have them. New Zealand is a high trust society and I haven't yet heard of problems with them. The User Interface on them is often pretty crappy, but they do work even if you need to get helped sometimes. I've never been checked, except for the scanner system at pak'n'save where you scan as you pick items into your cart using a handheld scanner and only pay at self-checkout on exit (don't need to scan items on exit).
