This community is a place created for the people of Melbourne and Victoria. We are a positive, welcoming and inclusive community. We might not agree about everything, but we always strive to stay civil and respectful.
The focus of our discussions is based around things that affect Victoria, but we are also free to discuss our local perspective on wider issues. Or head to the regular Daily Random Discussion thread to talk about anything.

Camera?
Yes I would say so, with some image recognition software.
@SituationCake @Seagoon_ They also have another camera pointing at where your basket is.
It's "smart" enough to notice if you place something from another shop in your basket, or if you put a bag from another shop in the bagging area.
But.
It's not smart enough to realise that Chemist Warehouse bag probably isn't something you got from Woolies.
So when you go to pay, it will show an error message, and call over an attendant.
And the attendant will take one look at it and go, yeah, that's not from here.
It wastes your time, and the attendant's time.
@ajsadauskas @SituationCake @Seagoon_ if they could bottle the rage that “self service” checkouts produce they could power a city the size of Melbourne for a century.
