Hey, I resemble those remarks.
Seems I always end up with the funky scale or nearly weightless items. Oh, and exception items. Just takes one **BEEP** and everything comes to a halt until an attendant can make it over. Then it's something inane like:
"Would you like an extended warranty with that?"
"Would you like us to deliver that?"
"Could we do a worse job of removing automation from the automated checkout process?"
Of course, these happen one at a time and the attendant leaves in-between.
