    Yeah I saw that… The fuck it is not.
    Jeeze people trying to argue that Europe is different from america I get but not pretending you get locked in grocery stores to do so.

      I have seen scan gates after self checkout counters before. In Albert Heiijn shops in Amsterdam and in Lidl Shops in Zürich.

      But Coop and Migros Shops don’t have them in Switzerland. I think the 7/11 in Copenhagen also didn’t but I’m not sure of my memory.

        Those gates are coming to switzerland too. Example: The food section of Coop-city Fribourg, and the Migros of the train-station in Fribourg.

        We have a scangate at my local edeka. But you could still just walk by the normal checkouts if you don’t have anything

          Ah yeah, of course. I thought that was the same in the location of the article, but maybe I misunderstood and that’s the main issue.

          After re-reading it I’m still confused by this paragraph:

          During my Monday visit, I purchased a kombucha and went through the check-out line without incident. (No high-tech gates block the exit if you go through the line like normal.) But for journalism’s sake, I then headed back into the store to try going out the new gate.
