do US stores not have the infuriating scales that weigh everything you scan? If you scan soup, and put down anything else itll scream “UNEXPECTED ITEM IN THE BAGGING AREA” until a staff member clears it

Because the employees just clear it because the scales are so broken

Also because they expect you to load a whole cart full of groceries onto an 8"x8" bagging area.

Well nobody is putting a grill onto the scales to measure it

The Walmart in my town does not have the scales.
