You people don’t have self scanning? Pick a barcode scanner at the entrance, scan everything when you put it in your bags in the cart, and just pay at the exit and walk out (unless you get a semi-rare random check). One of the favorite features of the store I use is that I fill the shopping list at home in the app (that can be shared with other accounts) and then I see the list in my phone or the store scanner, sorted by the order of sections in the store, so eg. all fruit and vegetables will be next on the list when I get to that section. I also like that you see your total in real time and the scanner reminds you if there’s a “3 for 2” or other offers.

They used to have that at a few grocery stores by me but don’t any more. That was fuckin awesome, just used an app on my phone.
Some stores have scanning from a phone, but for most it is much more cost effective to prevent theft in one place instead.
I know some stores mix self scanning and self checkout, usually they’re in the same exit area, or even at the same terminal
