    Wait, you guys have to unload everything at the register and scan it there?! No wonder you hate that shit. In Sweden we have a portable scanner that we bring with us through the store, and you can remove stuff yourself. Removes most of the hassle. There might still be items that need checking or an ID check, but the former usually doesn’t take long, and the latter they can do remotely if you look way above the required age. Saves a shit ton of time, since there’s very often a queue at the regular registers.

      They look like this and if you can something and don’t put it on the platform to the left it it complains. Sometimes it decides the weight doesn’t add up for some reason and then you “UNEXPECTED ITEMS IN THE BAGGING AREA” … Often once it has decided this it requires… You guessed it, me getting the attention of the clerk who is busy trying to keep 10 - 15 other kiosks moving and each kiosk is doing the same bullshit to everyone.
