    Weight sensors don’t stop theft. They irritate costumers to the point they will stop using the self checkout.

      How is it irritating? Swipe, put the thing in a bag on the sensor.

      What’s irritating is people who get confused by this and insist on not using cashiers.

        Have you ever used these? Often the weight is programmed wrong, so the item you put there is not recognized correctly, often it triggers falsely because something unexpected happened, they are generally a pain to use because the tolerance is set too low.

        They are fine in theory but not in practice.
