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.

The checkout has these things called "scales", Den, you may have heard
of them.


Don't be an idiot, you don't put prepacked stuff on the scales you
just scan the bar code and put them on the checkout scale.

Those will be all the same weight.


Do you ever shop?
Try Sainsburys baking spuds they are never the same weight.
Or a cabbage or a cauliflower.
