Look into Amazon fresh stores. They have that concept. You just place the item in the cart and it shows you the list of items you have in the cart while at the store. After that I think you just go to the register and it chargers your Amazon account.

But how do you do it with produce? Say you want to buy three apples. I can get that it could figure out amount with a scale, but how does it know you've bought apples?

That one you would type the produce cause it could tell it was produce. Only been once so I don't remember how it calculated the weight.

Stores near me require you to weigh and print a label in the produce section. You scan the label at the register like anything else.

In the produce section you either type in the four digit number or select from a list.
