      If you have more stuff than will fit in the weighing platform it’s a logistical disaster. Hence why the belts and bagger system were invented in the first place.

        I haven’t seen a Walmart with one of the weighing platforms in years, actually

        They all use larger flat plastic coffee-table bits attacked to the machine now, there’s actually about as much room on it as is in a cart, and it’s really nice

        You beep, beep, beep, and never have to worry about UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING ARE or anything like that

          And then put the full bags back in the cart right on top of the stuff you still need to scan?

            There’s usually a platform you can leave 5-6 bags on till your cart is empty enough to through them back in there as you scan the rest

              Yea no shit. Not everyone has the luxury of shopping as often as you do and we have to actually fill our carts. Also it sure seems like you are still using disposable bags which is a shame.
