[But why can't they barcode the fruit?]
Some good observations. Also if the checkout machine fails there's the
embarrassment factor of needing to call for help. I think the checkout
machines will eventually be perfected but that before that time arrives
shopping might be mostly done online. Another disruption factor might
be changes to the business model. Why not have subscription based
shopping where you just pay some fixed price each week and that entitles
you to up to some maximum weight of fresh produce. That would make the
fruit a lot easier for machines to deal with.
