00:00Hey guys, as I showed you on previous videos, self-registers, self-checkout registers have become the norm in Japan.

00:06However, this is the first time we've seen this.

00:09They give you a smartphone when you enter the store.

00:14Actually, it's an English option, which we experimented with.

00:20And then you walk around the store, swiping things as you put them into your trolley.

00:28And it gives you a running total of how much money you've spent.

00:31And then when you get to the register at the end, you just swipe the barcode and pay the money.

00:39Usually with a payless, paperless system like some sort of PayPal or PayPay type system.

00:46So they give you a trolley with this little holder for the phone.

00:53And you go to work.

00:56Some people have an issue with this, having to do the work themselves.

01:03But this has become the norm. Banks of self-registered checkouts with one staff member standing back,

01:09sort of watching to see if people need help.

01:15A couple of systems there to sort of monitor what you've actually got in your trolley.

01:18So they do have some security going on, but not a lot.

01:23That lady just did it. Swiped the barcode and out the door.

01:27There we go. More videos coming soon.
