Tesco had a camera screen visible on their most recent self checkouts when they were first introduced for a month or so, then they disabled the functionality but I believe they still actively record your face as you scan your goods.
I had got myself to a skill level where I was able to keep up and sometimes beat Aldi and Lidl till operators on loading the goods in to my bag knowing how to load order my goods to my advantage on the conveyor belt, I guess I will need another hobby now 😂.
