it wont be long til you walk in, fill your trolley and walk out and the value of items in the trolley is deducted from your account via an app

amazon already has this in its humanless stores

What are Amazon Go stores?
Amazon Go is a revolutionary shopping experience that eliminates the need for traditional checkouts and cashiers.

Just Walk Out technology
Customers can enter the store, pick out items they want, and simply walk out. Their Amazon account is automatically charged for the items they take. Meanwhile, 'Just Walk Out' is the technology employed by Amazon Go stores that allows customers to shop without the need for traditional checkouts or cashiers. This technology combines computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning, similar to the technologies used in self-driving cars.

Australian supermarket axes self-serve checkouts

A Brisbane supermarket has decided to axe its self-serve checkouts forever due to one very sad reason.

IGA Greenslopes will shut down the modern mechanism for good in favour of good old fashioned manned checkouts.

The controversial change has reportedly been implemented in response to a massive spike in shoplifting, according to a sign in the store.

Exactly.
People are just walking out with the goods.
If the staff member even lays a finger on them, that staff member will lose their job and potentially face assault charges.

Like the post above says, "that's progress", or is it?

Oh, it is widely used already.

I never use self service checkouts as I don’t work for the company concerned.
To use one is contributing to unemployment.
Once at Woolworth’s the lady on the checkout said that I could have used the self checkout[there’d been a bit of a line] I said that I didn’t work for Woollies, she grinned and said “ Good on you.”
