If I accidentally put something in the bag before it scans, it catches it immediately, but if it double scans the barcode, it can’t tell it overcharged and the employee has to cancel it 🤔
Had this happen this week at a Tesco Express. The only guy on the register had to call someone out from the back to remove the double-scanned Irn-Bru.
What made it extra awkward was that the staff door was directly down the aisle from the self-checkout, so I could see the employee marching down the aisle so they could deal with this shit and get back to whatever they were doing. I want those 2 minutes of my life back.
Guilty confession: I will sometimes just grab my things and start over at another station. It may be rude, but I imagine it’s not any more work to cancel the whole transaction rather than edit a single item.

Funny enough at Aldi’s if I scan the same two items fast enough it won’t scan the second item probably for this purpose.
