I think the point here is that if you're the sort of person who does a weekly shop for a family, you can't possibly fit all of your bags on the scale, even at the largest self-checkout kiosks.
FWIW, I think your self-checkout experience is probably uncommon. I find that the barcode scanners at self-checkout machines are often poorly-calibrated, dirty, or just generally a pain in the ass. I say this as someone who spent five years doing tech support on point-of-sale equipment, where my job was quite literally to help people use their finicky barcode scanners.
- gambiting 3y agoThese are the checkout scales at my local supermarkets - I do a huge shop once a week for the entire family and I never struggled to fit everything on it: https://ninanco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/4a-blurred-1170x658.jpg https://ninanco.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/4a-blurred-11...
- singleshot_ 3y agoThis would solve the problem I noted. I have never seen such a glorious scale. More of this in my neighborhood, pretty please. BUT Worth mentioning that this unit is twice as long overall than the units where I shop, which are set up two deep. I think with a scale this large, you’re halving the number of lanes you can support.
