this isn't counting people. this is working out which item or items people pick up from a shelf and decide to keep, if any. that isn't just similar to the automated checkout problem: it's the same exact problem. if anything, this iteration of it is more challenging because a blueberry is a fair amount smaller than a tin of beans.
Good point.
