    My favorite was having multiples of an item, getting prompted to enter the quantity, and then having the machine yell at me for just placing them in the bagging area.

    The fuck is the point then?

      The best is when you buy fruit all vegetables and it decides that the Apple that you are buying doesn’t weigh the right amount.

      One time I bought the largest potato you’ve ever seen in your life and it decided that it was too big and therefore could not possibly be a potato and must instead be some high value item I was stealing, although nonetheless scanning. But the problem is the alternative is to talk to people.

          You pay by weight, so I don’t really understand what its problem was.

            Potatoes are cheap by weight. Machine saw a single item and didn’t believe it was a potato. Not that anything looks similar; it just flags it for staff to check.
