In one grocery supermarket chain here, each item is bar-coded; one shows the barcode to a wand or window, and the amounts are recorded and totalled. Do your own packing. Then you pay with credit card to the "cashier", who handles no cash.

They also have the old-fashioned conveyor belts and a real cashier for the luddites.
