The NYC area grocery chain Fairway–of which most locations have sadly closed after a bankruptcy in 2020–took this concept a step further with a mobile checkout app, you could weigh your produce and enter it into the app as you shopped (as well as scan package barcodes), then pay directly in the app and walk out. A clerk would sometimes audit your bags, but it was so much better than the typical American supermarket self-checkout.
