The Wegmans I shopped at in Rochester had scales that would produce a special barcode you could scan into the app that would record both the item and the weight.

If customers are willing to use an app, that makes things a lot easier to implement. Safeway/Vons in the US only have self-checkout machines. Seems like it's shifted towards per-item produce pricing, but the stickers often fall off.
