1. A system for weight checking items to verify instances of ticket switching,
comprising:
a weighing scale;
one or more cameras configured to capture images associated with a product scanning region of a scanning station, wherein the images include images of an item passing through the product scanning region and images of a barcode affixed to the item passing through the product scanning region;
one or more processors; and
one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
determine a first identification of the item based on the images of the barcode affixed to the item;
determine a second identification of the item based on the images of the item;
compare the first identification of the item to the second identification of the item to determine whether the first identification of the item matches the second identification of the item;
based on determining that the first identification of the item does not match the second identification of the item, generate a request, to be provided audibly or visibly via a user interface, for the user to place the item on the weighing scale;
determine, based on comparing a weight of the item, as measured by the weighing scale, to a first weight associated with the first identification of the item, whether the weight of the item matches the first weight; and
based on determining that the weight of the item does not match the first weight, trigger one or more mitigation actions.
