angstrydenbytch: theaudientvoid:magic-owl:This person has been building up that rant for a while and honestly good for them It’s interesting, though, how these self-checkout machines demonstrate the zeroth law of security: too much security is the same as no security. Like, so the point of the little scales under the bagging area is to make sure that people aren’t bagging things they haven’t paid for. But the scales are so sensitive to the minutest variances in weights that they are constantly throwing read flags and summoning human employees to sort them out. This happens so often that the human employees don’t even bother to check anything, and just reset the machine automatically. At which point, the weighing function might as well not actually be there. I have a personal vendetta against the self checkout at my local grocery (Dillons, aka Kroger.)I sound exactly like the image and make no secret of it. The bagging area freaks outif you put anything on it. It freaks out worse if you have the Audacity to remove something before you have paid. So gods forbid you have more items than can fit in two bags. -- source link
