[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But when the self checkout stalls out, you can't just keep scanning your other stuff and pay. You are trapped there until the worker comes over and resets the machine. So how are you not paying for your ingredients? [/quote]

People are talking about situations where the item just does not scan. Not where it scans incorrectly. Most self checkouts have weighted baggage areas and will alert you if you put something in the baggage area that was not scanned, but they are of varying sensitivity and it depends what the item is.

I find this happens most often with plastic wrapped or bagged items where the bar code is printed on the plastic (as opposed to a sticker attached to the plastic). Sometimes the printing is off or sometimes there's a wrinkle or seam in the plastic that makes the item impossible to scan. The scanner won't need to be reset, it just won't acknowledge you're scanning something, making the temptation to just throw it in your bag and not pay very high, especially if there is no one in the vicinity who can come deal with it.[/quote]

I check my UPC codes before I check out. Yes, really. [/quote]

That's nice. I am never going to bother to do this and neither are most other people. [/quote]
