I run into this process every time I visit Poland (mostly because I visit so rarely that I forget) and every time I'm astonished how seriously fucked up it is.

The most annoying part is having to scan a receipt in order to exit the self checkout area.

In the stark contrast to the above self checkout process in Switzerland works so smoothly. Mostly because nobody is subjected to the bullshit described above. There's even an option to grab a scanner, scan everything on the go and just pay at exit.

I'd rather drop the religion from that list. Some religions propagate harmful ideas too and historically sided with fascists.

That certainly is an interesting take. I never thought about it this way

Basically means that it cannot be printed and must be done by hand, which originally implied being signed with ink.
