Speedrun timers on self checkouts (lemm.ee)

Am I the only one who gets to the self checkout and is compelled to finish as soon as humanly possible?

Imagine if there was a speedrun timer on them and a leaderboard

Would make boring everyday life a little more interesting

Was it really AI powered? I've never used one (we've not had them in the UK) so I'm genuinely curious. I heard it just had chips in every product, so when you leave the shop through a gate, everything you bought got scanned, and you were charged automatically. But in my description there is no AI in the modern sense of pattern recognition based on vast training data.

I shopped at an automated Amazon Fresh in Bankside London yesterday...

Oh. Ok then, we don't have them in the UK in the city where I live.
