This is incredible, it feels like parts of the USA are so advanced.
Here in Sweden we're going backwards, they even took out self-scanning at a lot of supermarkets due to theft.
In America they just close the whole store instead of adding employees back in
Parts of the USA never had self-scanning due to theft concerns.
Now there are stores that are pulling out of specific neighborhoods due to theft even with a cashier in place.

That's awesome! I guess I'm going to start stealing all the time now. I fucking hate self checkout, especially at places where you buy a lot of items.
