I always notice people are super cocky about this kind of thing. Yet self-checkouts are so fucking terrible it basically everyone runs into problems at them eventually. So just tempting fate from everyone in this thread really.
“Unexpected item in bagging area” was a common misery for everyone in London in 2012. Don’t know if it’s improved there since.
In NL they now do ‘random checks’ of 10 items, which is basically ‘you having to unpack all your shopping’ and pack again so they can check if you stole.
The concept of self checkout is ridiculous, making you an unpaid employee and then blaming you for mistakes. It tries to solve the owner’s stinginess for not hiring more staff. It’s not there to help you, it’s there to suppress employees.
Eh, I love them. If there’s a line, I’ll go for the human, but if a self-checkout is available and I don’t have a ton of produce, I’ll take it every time.

I don’t know how you can go wrong. You scan the thing, set it down, repeat. Press pay, scan your card, done.

Where I shop, if you go too fast it confuses the machine and calls an attendant over to clear it while a video of what I was doing plays. Which is bs.
Oh here’s one now.
