Don’t let customers scan their own shopping if you don’t trust them, simple. But then they’d have to employ more people and not make as much profit

Yet more anti-consumer technology to go alongside the gates that won't let you out until you scan your receipt, the ANPR in the car park, the hair-trigger scales on the bagging area, etc. All to crush that extra penny of profit from us.
The only benefit for the customer during shop and go is the "go" part, and if I have to wait in line to weigh my cart, that's out the window.
