unexpected item in the bagging area. place items in the bagging area. unexpected item in the bagging area.
Is this really something people struggle with? I don't understand this complaint. I haven't actually heard that alert in decades.
Edit: thanks to the few of you who have answered. I'm not saying I don't have any problems with self checkout—the overhead camera always thinks I'm stealing the soft drink or prescription or whatever that I leave in my cart, for instance—but my problem isn't ever with the scale thing, even though that's always the joke everyone makes.
still alive and well at CVS in Manhattan as of last week. using your own bag just instantly locks the machine, even if you want to place it on the floor. I just abandoned it and went to the real checkout.
Interesting. Around here they all have options for if you're using your own bag. You just hit the button and it tells you to put your bags on the machine, and then you go on with your life. Sad they haven't rolled that out everywhere.
