    Did anyone see the the part where you sellotape a barcode to to the palm of your hand.

    A big blow to the shops with self-service check-out tills.

    They do have an extra simple security check .

    *edit
    So don't try buy your weekly shop scanned as 50 packets of Tayto crisps.

    You could do that yes but there's things called scales and staff that look out for exactly this.
