Abstract

A shopping checkout system (10) for verifying the contents of a loaded shopping trolley has a barcode scanner (11), a weighing mat (12) and a verification unit (13). The scanner (11), in use, scans each shopping item as it is placed in the trolley and records, amongst other parameters, the weight of the item. The weighing mat (12), in use, weighs the loaded trolley and the readings from both the scanner (11) and the weighing mat (12) are fed to the verification unit (13), where the total weight of items from each source is compared in order to verify the contents of the loaded trolley.
