    Not what I see in shop at all, I can't think of literally ONE product I bought which wouldn't have barcode.

    Reminds me of RFID labels pipe dream.

      Visit a decathlon when you have time, they’ve been using that since a long time, it’s neat

        Yeah, shopping at decathlon feels like stealing honestly. Uniqlo has them too iirc

          Never seen this in Decathlon (probably implemented in some countries only), but in Uniqlo it’s like magic every time.

          This won’t work for groceries though: the margins are too thin and there’s too many manufacturers.
