I would be faster, if the tills didn't have a bloody delay after placing the item in the bag, before it will scan the next one.
"Please place the item in the bagging area!!!"
"Unexpected item in the bagging area." "Please place the item in the bagging area." "Unexpected item in the bagging area." "Please wait for assistance."
Assert dominance and just use a different machine for the rest of the items. It's not like an employee is showing up for a while anyway.
This was funny like a decade ago when it was commonplace.
Stores in my area solved that at least 6 years ago, maybe even earlier than that.
Stores near me first put in self checkouts around a decade ago and still have the original, problematic machines. It's the newer stores or ones recently renovated that have upgraded, but that is rare.
Yeah, even in South Central area of LA where I am, the system is quite responsive at the Food 4 Less.
Kroger 😂
I didnt realize places still did that, I haven't heard that annoying line in a few years.
Yeah I'm not actually talking about the "Please place the item in bagging area" part, I'm talking about the second or two after I place it before the system registers the weight and re-activates the scanner.
Sometimes I've seen this disabled, on certain tills at certain supermarkets, and I can scan breezily. Not sure if the weight check feature was disabled completely or what.
Oh gotcha
Same answer though, none of them by me do that anymore, I guess they all disabled the scale here. I can just rapid fire scan and out the door.
Hot tip: you can go at the same speed as before, and you'll even get a discount for saving everyone's time
