I think I’ve seen iButtons used occasionally on self checkouts for staff authentication (age check or the scales fucking up like they always do etc.), although with most they just use a magic barcode or a pin / password.
They're used quite frequently in the UK in bars/pubs where there are several people serving drinks and (I assume) there's some metric tracking by management on till use.
They're used in various hackerspaces around the world for membership administrivia .. Metalab in Vienna, for example, uses them as a door lock mechanism ..
