The gripe about being completely unable to enter a quantity of an item doesn't match my experience. But it isn't obvious how to use it - do you scan something, then enter the quantity, then put in the bagging area? Turns out no, you enter a quantity, scan one item, then put them all in the bagging area. But I discovered that if you enter a large quantity and can't put them all down in a certain time frame, it will complain the weight doesn't match and you have to wait for the supervisor... So I guess it works best with quantities of something you can fit in your hands.

What you see here is an artefact of that, as that's exactly how most cashier-operated PoS systems behave.
- julianlam 4y agoIf I were able to enter a quantity, that would be one thing, but the option for me simply isn't there. So I have to do this awkward dance where I hold the jar of tomato sauce with one hand (for scanning) while the other moves the other jars from the cart to the bag (for the weight check.)
