"I know what you mean, but it is only another step after many that have already made shopping much cheaper than it was 50 years ago. All at the expense of employees, to be sure.

It's a 'step' I don't like.
People are walking out of shops with strollers that they have stolen,
so how easy is it to "not scan" a small, expensive item?
