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.


On the rare occasions when I use one I scan the first item, put it in my
bag, then put that in the bagging area. It seems to be happy then.

But I avoid them; I feel that using the serviced tills is a way of
keeping low skilled people in gainful employment.


But if you use the self-service tills the unskilled staff can chat
amongst themselves.
