Has anyone got any idea how these Devil's scrotums work?

In theory you scan the item and place it on the scales.

The scales reject the item. You try again. The ******* thing then allows
4 items through before rejecting the 5th item and freezes up. And never
try to buy dowel using one unless you want large dowel and intend to
shove it up the managers arse when the machine goes wrong.

Not a bad setup.

No tills open and 3 staff watching the 4 self checkout machines. Make
that two staff available when one of them went to find someone that could
allow me to buy my items.


Never, ever try and pay by by trade card at one of these. I made the
mistake of going in to my local B & Q after the trade desk had closed for
the day. Not only do you get all the above problems but you then are faced
with a spotty oik who doesnt know how a trade card works and, once he had
it explained to him then announces he 'needs to go and find a pen'.
Priceless

did he need a calculator to calculate 10%?
