More BS for consumers who are now being treated even more like thieves when they shop

There is also a good chance that they can be pushed open, just triggering alarm. Based on TFA that is the case.

when leaving the self-checkout area, he didn't notice the scanner, so he pushed open the exit gate, prompting a loud alarm to go off.

I hope so. But then it begs the question: will that alarm also be ignored as all other in-store alarms tend to be? LOL

Of course. My argument isn't that this is a good solution, I don't think it is. I just don't think safety is a notable criticism.

Fair point. I don't know how their metal gates work, so safety came to mind.

edit: corrected Freudian slip.
