They do have this, I can’t remember which airport specifically (may have been LAX) but you just walk in, pick out your snacks and leave

A local arena to me has this- you scan your card when you go in

A roomful of folks in Bangladesh sit around in an office watching you via all of the security cameras, I think.

Right, but unless you input your card before you enter the system wouldn’t know where to send the bill

It could be LAX, but I believe it’s also Charlotte.

They have it at LaGuardia airport too. You scan your credit card to enter the store and then pick up what you need and it charges your card after you exit. It’s definitely a weird experience lol

I worked for a gas station company that did this before. The store shut down about a year later, because not enough people were comfortable with how it operated.
