When you go to a cloth shop you just place your bag in a box and pay. No scanning or anything. It takes less than a minute.

The employee had to help me because I was trying to figure out how to scan my stuff.

I've seen decathlon employ this in their stores as well. Think they're primarily in Europe.

It's definitely weird the first time you do it, but I'm assuming they're using RFID technology, so each product has a little microchip in its price tag.
