    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.

      alternative is to

      Be in the top 5% of customers the cashier had that day! (A little reframing for the next time self checkout is down, understand still not ideal)

          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.
