Rockford is jumping into the future with a new store, the first of its kind in the area.

The store, Three Square Self-Pay Market, sells soft drinks, snacks, etc. It has just about everything you would find in a convenience store, except for a cashier. It's a do-it-yourself store. It's similar to a self-checkout you would find at Target, including the camera in your face. Owners aren't worried about shoplifters, according to the store's Customer Service Manager.

We do have 24-hour security and [shoppers will] be able to see themselves in the camera. There is someone there that can interact with them and ask questions. (MyStateline.com)

The process is super easy.

... take the item, scan it, select the payment method, insert a debit card, and scan the item to deactivate the security tag.

This will serve its purpose for mall shopper or employees that want an option outside of the food court.
