I live in a part of the US which apparently isn't a low-social-trust kind of area (Target and Walmart haven't put underwear behind locked cabinets for us like they have other places). Practically every self-checkout I use is like this experience. I put my reusable bags in the bagging area first, sometimes it asks, "Are you using your own bags?" but most stores just don't care. Then I can start scanning and just put things directly into my reusable bags. The checkout machines alerting on things like "unknown item in bagging area" seem to rarely ever happen. Or even better yet, when I shop at places with scan and go I can take something off the shelf, scan the barcode with my phone, and put it straight into my bag in the shopping car. Then at the exit the LP person will sometimes scan the items in my bags, but often the store's cameras will automatically clear me to just walk out the store.
