Honestly self checkout is the bare minimum for me these days. One of the two duopoly supermarkets in Australia rolled out "scan and go" where you can scan it with an app on your phone and pay on your phone and just walk out (with the occasional random inspection to deter theft) and it was such a huge improvement over even regular self checkout. I was gutted when they announced that option was being deprecated due to low uptake.
S-chain in Finland has that but with a device of their own. Rimi in Baltics has the scan and go through app, it was really nice to use.
Yeah I first learnt about this type of thing with this video about a similar thing in the Netherlands, which they got 3 or 4 years before we got the app version here in Australia.
And apparently part of the reason they're deprecating it is that they're switching from an app version to a "device of their own" version...except unlike the handheld device shown in that video, it's a big tablet that they'll have built into some shopping trolleys. So no luck if you're doing a quick small shop with a handheld basket, or even just carrying it in your arms.
