How much would it cost to print up cards with a picture of the item and a note “to purchase this item take this card to the cashier”?

For places like this? Thousands. Impulse purchases like expensive hobby drones depend upon the customer picking up and holding the item, that's half the sale there. Bringing a card to the cashier means you probably still have to work to sell the item.

Just ask Staples who saw a major drop in sales of items when they swapped to the 'bring card to cashier' methods. They still do it, but a whole lot of consumer purchases ended when they made the change.

I suppose there must exist people have pockets deep enough to be able to consider a $900 item an “impulse purchase”.
