    Cameras are there to lower insurance premiums. That’s why for years and years every security camera video looked like it was filmed on a potato because there was no incentive to upgrade. The rise of phone cameras has caused the price of 4k cameras to plummet though so they are getting better.

    Yeah most self checkout at grocery stores is hot garbage for all the reasons you mentioned and more.

    My favorite self check out experience is at Uniqlo. You walk up to what is effectively a plastic bucket with an iPad attached. Toss your shit in the bucket it shows you what it thinks you put in there and you click ok and tap you CC. It takes like 30s.

    Grocery stores are just cheap and won’t put the 5 cent RFID tag on things.
