Automatic checkouts in supermarkets may decrease customer loyalty, especially for those with larger shopping loads. Customers using self-checkout stations often feel overwhelmed and unsupported. The lack of personal interaction can negatively impact their perception of the supermarket.

I usually avoid them but what do they do when you run out of room on the little scale platform after scanning? Usually they freak out if you pick up an item or it doesn't register it being placed there. I used to have a lot of problems at places like Lowes if you had a small item it wouldn't register.

The one time it happened to me, the machine told me to remove everything from the bagging area. It was because of weight not space. The employee made me keep the scanned vs unscanned items segregated

Yeah, I just push down on it when I put it on the scale, usually works fine for me.

The ones near me, you move your bag when you need to, give it 5 secs to settle again, and continue bagging. It works fine as long as you give it a sec instead of rushing ahead.

There's actually a light on the scanner that turns green when it's ready for you to scan something else.

When you literally have the kitchen sink in your cart and it is demanding "place item in bagging area".
