The Intelligencer Record News . A training video shows a customer using the system that will allow shoppers to check purchases out of the store by themselves.
New technology allows grocery shoppers to check out by themselves.
The self-checkout at the new Shop 'n Save in Pittsburgh can read a bar code at almost any angle, check the weight of a bunch of bananas and gulp down dollar bills that have been around the block a few times. But store owner Vic Wukits is doing his best to fool the thing. He tries putting a can of Alpo prime cut dog food in his bag without scanning it. Then he tries canceling the purchase of a bottle of Windex on the touch-screen computer, but instead he removes an already scanned bottle of mustard. Nothing happens at first, but when he attempts to complete the transaction, the computer screen says he needs to get approval from a human being.
