I think the self-serve checkouts at New World are very clever as no matter how small my item they know whether or not you've put it in
the bagging area. And I couldn't for example buy two toothbrushes, scan
the same one twice and put them both down together the way a checkout
operator would.
However when it comes to removing my items though they may be
clever but they aren't patient. Last night with a small load going
straight back into the trolley I was asked four times to remove my items
from the bagging area. Previously with a larger load I was putting into
bags I was asked 10 times. The program might know that I was
continually removing items so I don't know why that pushy voice had to
keep giving me the hurry up. The female voice sounds nice enough but I
doubt any male computers will be proposing to her any time soon.
