Basically i just want to know will the machine be able to tell i put a high cost item in the bagging area that just so happens to have a cheaper barcode? Specifically if the barcode is a sticker that was made in store, like if it was a $3 piece of cheese wrapped and tagged in that store, but i scanned a $15 steak? I assume they have to be similar enough in weights. And if so how much room for a weight difference can it be? Does the barcode tell the machine the exact weight so it knows exactly how much weight should have been added to the bagging area? there has to be a little bit of wiggle room there right?

how precise is that weight calculations for the baggage area?

not worried about stuff like boxes with a upc made by the manufacturer, specifically just stuff that is both tagged in that store.

    I went through a self checkout recently at a Meijer that has cameras above each checkout. At one point I couldn't get this cheese to scan (barcode was messed up) and then it locked me out, the light started flashing red and played the video of me trying to scan it.

      Dang, can't wait to get shot by a cop for not putting the item in the bagging area even though I did.

      goddamn. thankfully the ones by me seem pretty lower tech, they put them in quite awhile ago now. they do have a flashing light but it's incredibly tame and it's almost always going off in one of the checkouts everytime im there. but no cameras like that, that is fucking gnarly fuck that
