1. A system for shopping checkout comprising:
a shopping cart, on which is affixed a shopping cart electronic identification (ID) tag;
a checkout counter comprising: a checkout ID tag reader, a payment register and a checkout processor, wherein the checkout processor is configured to execute a first set of instructions, from non-transient system storage, to receive payment approvals from the payment register, to receive an ID value of the shopping cart electronic ID tag, and responsively to signal the checkout ID tag reader to write an approval indication to the electronic ID tag; and
a store exit comprising an exit ID tag reader, an exit processor, and an automatic barrier, wherein the exit processor is configured to execute a second set of instructions, from the non-transient system storage, to determine an ID value of the shopping cart electronic ID tag from output of the exit ID tag reader, to read the approval indication from the electronic ID tag, confirming that the shopping cart is approved to exit, responsively to the approval, to open the automatic barrier to permit the shopping cart to exit, and to signal the exit ID tag reader to reset the approval indication of the electronic ID tag to require the shopping cart to subsequently pass the checkout counter before re-exiting.
