More BS for consumers who are now being treated even more like thieves when they shop

People leave grocery stores without buying anything all the time. The self-checkout area is usually the easiest way to leave because there's lots of empty space. I don't see what they can possibly accomplish with this.

I already hated shopping at Superstore. What they accomplished was turning me into a broken glass shopper.

Walmart had stuff like this, so when leaving with nothing bought, i would walk up to the chrome fence and duck and sidestep through it. A Fence with giant holes does nothing to stop somebody who wants to shoplift, it just make life hard for the majority of honest people

I guess it would be easier to leave through it since nobody is watching you leave. That's probably the idea
