If you double scan something, it should wait to weight the second item scanned. Where I shop, the machine doesn’t let you scan anything until you put the already scanned one on the scale. If where you are it relies just on cameras, then yeah, it could be faulty like you say.
You’d be wrong. I had the great opportunity of figuring out one store I know sets the “removable scanned item without supervisor input” at 3. For a cashier-operated register, mind you. The limitis for the shift lead to override for the cashiers and not for the person standing around the self checkout isle for customers.
And you’d think this meant 3 items on the bill regardless of their amounts. Nope. 3 items.
You can imagine how the rest of the business’s operations looked like. I have to say, I’m impressed they somehow just… chug along just fine. A multinational chain in Europe.
Well, if they’re cutting expenses at the end, they’ll continue going this way.
