Yes, at any point in the experience you are able to browse, add or remove products from your bag, and checkout without an associate. However, for a more hands-free experience, the associate is able to share products with you, add products to your bag, and take you to your cart to checkout without you having to lift a finger.
The associate is unable to remove items from your bag or perform your
checkout. You are required to initiate this step and complete your transaction.
