Or machine vision to track item pickups and follow the person around the store and out. You may need a cover over the items to have them pause to lift a plastic cover to give the system enough to confidently note that person X has collected item Y and placed it in cart/pocket/prison pocket.

Nearfield (NFC) was supposed to do this. I was supposed to be able to fill a cart and just push it out the store and be charged.
Yeah I remember an at in the 90s of rolling a shopping cart without scanning and here we are 30 years on… Still scanning…
Well, it’s not NFC but Amazon has some convenience stores that can do it, I think there’s a limit on the number of items though.
I can just imagine a shopping cart full of NFC transceivers screaming out there serial numbers simultaneously.
