This is common practice here in Germany. All self checkouts I used have a gate requiring the receipt scan. I wasn’t aware that it’s controversial elsewhere. Seems only logical to avoid having personnel monitoring the exit, defeating the purpose of self checkouts.

I remember these from other EU countries as well. Seems reasonable enough.
