There's a similar system in Denmark called MitID (my ID), it can even be used by businesses. I can pop into my local REMA 1000, scan my groceries —including alcohol—on my phone, and pay for them all in-app without any interaction with another human being. Because I'm logged in with MitID, there's no need for the additional age verification that more traditional self-scan checkouts require for purchasing alcohol.
