The scale experience with these things is so bad that many stores have just given up and disabled them altogether, accepting the additional risk of theft. One of the fancy grocery stores near me does not and it is infuriating to try and use, but apparently they can't meet the high standard of customer service set by Walmart. The main way they have of encouraging you to use self-checkout is just having way too few cashiers.
