The first hurdle with some self checkouts is before you even scan an item: Bags!
If you've brought your own bag and it weighs more than the mass of a few protons, the system assumes you're trying to steal something, and a human has to intervene before you can even get started.
And then they have to come back almost immediately to deal with age-restricted items or other glitches.
- pimlottc 3y agoOne workaround is to delay bagging (in your own bags) until after checkout, when you can just ignore its complaints. But the downside is having to awkwardly tetris your scanned items around the stupid plastic bag holders that take up half the bagging area...
- themadturk 3y agoOh my gosh, this is the bane of my shopping existence. Fred Meyer (Kroger) self scan registers are absolutely henpecking, pushy nannies. Did you put a bag on the scale? Did you put another bag on the scale? Please put your item in the bagging area. Please take all your purchased items. Over and over.
- mr_toad 3y agoGod forbid you have more than one bag, because that totally confuses the system.
- kevincox 3y agoOr that not all of your bags fit on the scale.
