The Amazon shop is a lot more complicated than a few berries on a white shelf.

not in the ways that matter, and small, organic items like individual berries are far harder to account for than standardized product packaging

Could be or could be the berries are put in the same arrangement each day and it's just tracking which black blob disappears.

pretty sure items on a shop shelf are in the same arrangement each day

That's not necessarily true-- in fact, two similarly packaged items that are otherwise different might actually be harder to tell apart when packaged.

which is why just walk out also had rfid tokens on all their products

you can't do that with a strawberry unless you like your fruit crunchy

They had RFID? Yeah that seems like a superior option in most cases (some produce being an obvious exception)
