Not known for efficiency, grocery shopping Italian style is precisely that.
First the shopping cart, for one euro (which you get back if you return your cart - shades of Aldi, and they stay neat and present). Then you swipe your card for a personal scanner which fits conveniently onto your shopping cart. As you select produce (handy gloves provided to maintain cleanliness), you weigh it after punching in its picture code (for those who can't read?). When it prints out the correct price, you simply scan and load.
Checking out is a breeze - you present the total and they charge your credit card.
I've still got my plastic glove in my back pocket, also just in case.
