He has paid for all the items purchased. Loblaws has launched this pilot project in its stores across the country. “The scanners we scan are installed above security gates in self-checkout areas and the gates don’t open until the customer scans the barcode on their receipt,” company spokeswoman Kathryn Thomas said in a statement.
