The machine weighs stuff so you can't put it on without scanning, very
few of them actually check the product weight against what is expected.


IME they all weigh the products and know the expected weight, the
problems come when you add e.g. one bag of quavers after a 4x2litre pack
of bottled water ...




They certainly do not know the weights.
They can't know the weights of prepacked fresh stuff for a start.
They also don't check the weights of stuff they might be able too in any
of the supermarkets I use.
Next time you are in try putting a box of stuff on at the same time as
putting say the free magazine on the scales.
