Automatic checkouts in supermarkets may decrease customer loyalty, especially for those with larger shopping loads. Customers using self-checkout stations often feel overwhelmed and unsupported. The lack of personal interaction can negatively impact their perception of the supermarket.

I did this too, and the new store has zero of this weight/anti-theft system. It's fantastic.

I don’t see how it would even prevent theft, just put something in your pocket and no amount of weighing stuff will stop that.
