Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, systems for enabling physical retail stores and other facilities to implement automated-checkout techniques for the purchase of items that are priced per unit weight. For example, the described systems may enable a facility to implement technology where users are able to remove items from inventory locations, where the inventory locations include weight sensors detecting the weights of the items that were removed. The system then determines the prices based on the weights and charges the users for the prices of the items without performing manual checkout of the items. The price of an item is determined based on the weight of the item and the price per unit weight of the item. The systems described herein thus enable customized retail facilities, as opposed to a retail facility that allows automated-checkout only for prepackaged-type or otherwise non-customizable merchandise.

Abstract: Evaluation rooms (or fitting rooms) at a clothing store include replenishment closets that are accessible to customers and associates of the clothing store, albeit not at the same time. Doors of evaluation rooms include access control systems with interlocks that govern operation of the respective doors. Before an associate opens a first door between an exterior of an evaluation room and a closet to place an item therein, a second door between an interior of the evaluation room and the closet is locked. After the associate places the item in the closet, the first door is closed and locked, and the second door is unlocked, enabling the customer to open the second door and retrieve the item. Feedback indicating that items are being staged in a closet, or that items are staged therein and the closet is accessible to a customer, is provided to the customer within the evaluation room.
