Where I live, self checkout is usually behind a gate as well, where you have to scan your ticket for it to open.

A place where you can rant to your heart's content.
Rules :
- Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
- Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
- Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

Generally you can just go back out the same way toyu cane in. The gaurds typically have to allow it for safety reasons. The employees generally don't care. And if they do, reward their efforts with a single finger salute.
I understand in most places you can, the motion activated barriers are one way and make a loud noise if you try a go the wrong way.
Some places have an exit gate, small and awkward to get through, but not all.
I try to avoid going back to any shop that implements that utter bullshit. It already felt like joining the queue at the abattoir, now it's just incredibly insulting.
