That's a really good idea. A carrot instead of a stick.

I've heard of a few "sticks" in the last few months that don't seem nearly as fun/customer friendly as yours: facial recognition to identify/charge thieves after the fact and AI that analyzes body language and identifies shoplifters through their (supposedly) suspicious behavior in-store.

I'd also be curious whether the "honesty eyes" concept[1] would put a meaningful dent in self-checkout shrinkage.
