As you said what you are talking about is already implemented.
What you are looking at is brand new, the scanners are specifically for you to interact with the cooler. Absolutely no purpose unless the coolers were locked, which they aren't in this video. Not effective for preventing any petty theft if it isn't locked so that's not the purpose. The kid is absolutely right about everything he said. You will need to scan.
It's easy to turn it on (locking it until payment is received) and require wireless payment which is the ultimate goal.
If you have a modern cellphone, your "mark of the best" is already there.
My point was, some folks see new technology and immediately go to "mark of the best." It is always, 100% of the time, ravings of lunatics.
