    Believe it or not, recently here somewhere in Ukraine, a store was built with it. Literally everybody who bothers with self checkout at all ignores the button.

    Same in Russia. I have never seen anyone using it, despite capable terminals being installed everywhere. Turns out, sharing your detailed biometrics info with a bank and also authorities in an authoritarian hellhole is not very popular.
