      The only remarkable thing about this coming from the perspective of Sweden would be if there is no ungated exit, for example at the manned checkout. Having one-way gates at the entrance has been standard practice for as long as I’ve been alive, and basically ever since self-checkout became a thing, they have been receipt-gated.

      You’ve always been able to exit by the manned checkout though as for obvious reasons you can’t imprison people who visit your store

      Yeah I saw that… The fuck it is not.
      Jeeze people trying to argue that Europe is different from america I get but not pretending you get locked in grocery stores to do so.

        I have seen scan gates after self checkout counters before. In Albert Heiijn shops in Amsterdam and in Lidl Shops in Zürich.

        But Coop and Migros Shops don’t have them in Switzerland. I think the 7/11 in Copenhagen also didn’t but I’m not sure of my memory.

          We have a scangate at my local edeka. But you could still just walk by the normal checkouts if you don’t have anything
