Sorry I didn’t read the article. I will vent though.
I’m not going to go on about the surveillance tech used in Australia as part of the self check outs but here are a few gripes, the problem is a lack of trust of the customers.
1. You have to tell it you have bags (fine) then it seems if you have lots of bags on the platform (or bags with items in them?) you have to wait for an attendant to check you’re not doing something dodgy
2. If you have other stuff in the trolley, say, your handbag or bags from other stores, or you put the grocery bags back in the trolley before you pay, you have to wait for an attendant to check you’re not doing something dodgy
3. There are other inexplicable reasons the system gets locked up and needs an attendant, I haven’t found rhyme or reason to some of them. I have though seen the attendant required to review and ‘Ok’ photos of stuff I’ve scanned and put in the bag.
