They use to be like, please remove the last item from the checking area
But thats hasn't happened to me in a long time I think they fixed it
And they got rid of cash, its card only now and it sucks, when it was cash I would scan each checkout with my eyes and pick the one someone forgot a bill in
I made at least like $100 total that way before they got rid of cash machines, and it was back when I really needed every extra $5 I could get

Now I would never do this but this guy at my work who used to work at a grocery store and sounds like he probably steals from self checkouts was talking about buying produce and supporting most of the weight of the bag with your hand, so that it weighs in at a lot less than it should. I'm not sure how that works without looking sketchy on the camera though. Sounds like a lot of stress I don't need.
When I was in high school I got banned from a certain Canadian Tire because my douchebag friend was caught on camera refilling a lighter in the store with a can of butane he didn't buy. They caught up to me just before I got on a bus but I wouldn't give them my name and they agreed I hadn't done anything illegal.

When I lived in Calgary I loved Canadian Tire. For real. I went there all the time.
Yeah... I make enough money to afford groceries. I'm certainly not getting any thinner. But I do hate self checkout.

That technique wouldn't work at my Ralphs, as the landing pad for bagging your groceries is also a scale, and if you put down more weight than your weighed item clocked in at, it'll let you know posthaste, preventing you from checking out until the weight discrepancy is remedied, or a store clerk overrides the flag. This happens all the time when my kid is helping me and leans on the bagging area and then it's like... "THIEF!! CALL THE COPS!! KILLL KILLLLLLL!!!" .. and I'm just like, "my kid was leaning on the scale, no worries!" 
There are certain items that are inputted by quantity (instead of weight) that you can fudge fairly easily. Avocados, limes and lemons come to mind, as they are typically priced per unit and the computer has a wide tolerance for weight fluctuation.

Produce you can just put most of the weight off the scale and onto the table unless the scale is also the bagging pad. I hate stealing food.

I mentioned it being a scale in this thread somewhere. As you say (as did I), there has to be a correction factor which could be gamed.

It'd be funny If the machine started screaming like r2d2 whenever you put an unexpected item in the bagging area

Self Checkout
It sucks.
this reads different if it dawned on you, you probabvly have your mother's alzheimers that you witnessed as her caregiver, and you gave a standing order to God to drop you when the time comes to prevent end-of-life struggle.
Self checkout sucks. He'll have to murder me, and he will.
Da Fuk? You good dude?
Also, it seems that self checkouts are a dying thing. As the cost of living continues to spin out of control so to do theft. Stores where I live are hiring more and more security to help reduce theft instead of paying cashiers a living wage to prevent self-checkout theft. Already starting to see less self checkouts.
He read it as suicide. Honestly that's kinda where my thoughts were too. Only I thought it was another "leaving the shroomery" posts.
I prefer self checkout. I hate waiting on people. It's not that I get impatient I just feel really weird waiting to watch someone else work. I feel like I should be helping but I shouldn't that might annoy them and they might judge me for my bagging skills.

Don't confuse self-confidence and self-love with narcissism. It's healthy to like your body. I don't think the world revolves around me.

Bad news, the government has shut you off. Do not, I repeat, do not try self checkout. It will turn your penis gay.

What's funny is that if this thread was about suicide I wouldve thought it was about the grocery self checkout at first.
