As you enter the queue with your full cart, waiting for your
turn to pay...
A band of kids (or adults with playful minds) are hidden in the
ceiling & floor with laser guns. They get points for every bar-
code they can scan from a distance.
Then, when it's your turn to checkout, most of the
items are
already rung up.
If you put your loyalty card & payment card within sight, you
may check out even faster.
If the labor's too much, you could have the kids operate the
laser guns remotely, via their phones, while they are bored in
class, & wanting to get more fake internet points.

... but must all be scanned to identify those that
aren't. |

Yes, [MaxwellBuchanan], but we could incorporate
scales into the carts, and then use weight to
calculate if your cart is fully scanned or not. |
|
| |
(Self-checkout stations use scales to do this, item by
item. For customers who want to check out faster,
they just need to ensure that the bar codes are all
visible. They have an incentive & time in line to do
this.) |

And to correct for the misses that caught the two
fillets mignon and the twenty dollar box of kitty
litter in the background. |

//most of the items are already rung up// ... several of them twice. |

I would ring up the family size chitterlings for each and every customer. |
