Tesco rolls out VAR-style cameras at self-service tills as shoplifting offences reach record high
- Tesco is rolling out new self-service checkouts with AI-powered 'VAR-style' cameras at some UK stores in 2025.
- The rollout follows similar systems installed earlier by Sainsbury's, aimed at reducing theft by spotting unscanned items with video review.
- The system employs a camera mounted on the till to oversee scanning and packing, notifying customers with alerts if an item appears to have been missed during scanning.
- Tesco states the new checkouts make the process quicker and easier, while some customers on X criticized the changes and called for a return to staffed tills.
- The introduction might reduce reliance on current security measures, but customer opinions suggest potential dissatisfaction with self-service checkouts remains high.
