This was my immediate thought too but now they have weighted checkout counters and cameras checking items, but it definitely would have been great in the early days when I used to scan everything up as unwashed potatos

Weakest link is still the min wage employee who still probably really doesn't care.

Here the checkout locks down and keeps repeating "unexpected item in the bagging area" and needs an employee to come and check and swipe their card to unlock. I assume the camera system works the same if the colour, shape or size of an item doesn't match

Some of the ones here do the scale thing but I didn't think any use a camera like that. Walmart has a camera on your face but no scale.
