Customers who go through self-checkout must use the device to scan their receipt's barcode — confirming that they paid something — which opens a metal gate, letting them leave.

How can scanning a receipt prove that you scanned all the items, and are leaving with only what you paid for?

Also, how does this locking metal gate fall under the municipal fire code?

The article makes it sound like you can push the gate open without a receipt, it will just set off an alarm.
