Abstract
This disclosure describes systems for enabling a just-walk-out (JWO) facility in which users may enter the facility, physically pick one or more items, and walk out of the facility to rent, purchase, or otherwise acquire the items without needing to perform a manual checkout for the items. In some instances, a tag, such as an RFID tag, may attach to each item in the facility, which may include an exit system that includes RFID readers for detecting when a tag exits the facility. The exit system may also include one or more cameras that may be used to help identify which of multiple checkout lanes the tag and item exited through for ensuring that the item is associated with the proper user account and/or the appropriate payment instrument is charged.
