At Uniqlo, shoppers want to use the RFID-powered self-checkout machines

I used it today for the first time in Vancouver and it is mind blowing There is no scanning, just put your clothes in the basket, confirm the purchase list and pay.

The key to this being possible is the price of RFID tags, as the article mentions - "The cost of RFID tags has fallen from as high as 60 cents a tag a few decades ago to about 4 cents a tag"
