Yeah, I read somewhere not too long ago that some stores were taking them out due to loss. Might have even been here.

With modern data mining, prices could be personalized to the customer walking past.

Crazy thing that would not even be that hard to do considering most people will have their smart phone on them. It could just do some kind of proximity check to get the phone info then link it to the person via Google/Apple data.

Imagine walking by the condom aisle and the prices suddenly drop and there's a flashing ad with voice over. "Attention shopper! You now qualify for a bulk discount!".

Enough that it has become a big problem with the major grocery stores.

Do you "forget" a couple of items when you checkout?

self scan checkout is not an option at my stores.
and no i dont.
even if there werent cameras at self checkout, i make too much $ to steal a $1.19 can of soup.
