Tesco is trialling ‘magic tills’ that mean shoppers won’t have to scan the barcodes on their items before paying and allow them to skip self-checkout queues.
The technology brought in by Britain’s biggest supermarket chain will see a combination of sensors and cameras track customers as they move through its stores, automatically registering what they pick up as they go.
When they walk out the customer will then be given a list of items the store thinks they have picked up, which they can check is correct, before paying.
