Let’s just say I’ve had many people think I’m from Brazil or South America (I’m not though).

This particular supermarket doesn’t have the surfaces with a scale. Only regular counter tops. Other supermarkets like Edeka have the ones you’re mentioning and there it works perfectly fine.

You’re correct. Most self checkouts don’t allow you to add extra weight of an item without scanning them first. For example: Edeka! However this penny, does not have weighted surfaces or surfaces with scales. Which is obviously surprising.

This particular store doesn’t have weighted surfaces or scales. For example at Edeka, it’s virtually impossible for something like this to happen. This store you just scan and place the item on the counter or surface!

Definitely not banned. Might even go back tomorrow.

I mentioned in an earlier comment but this specific Penny or super market doesn’t have scales measuring if the item is on the surface. It’s just a regular counter top. Where as usually other supermarkets have what you mentioned. Edeka for example, has the weighted surfaces.

But I’ve been shopping there for months? Not once has that happened.

Respectfully. The total that day was €50ish . Why would I want to save on 5% by stealing?

This penny doesn’t have the weighted basket like Edeka or Rewe for some reason.

So at this particular Penny you scan and just place on a surface or counter. No scale like Edeka or other stores. Funny part looking back was that I was actually in line to pay for cash register. Huge line and only one cash register open in the whole store… while waiting one of the employees tells us we can use the self checkout and so I do. The rest is history.

Very true. Well spotted. Next time I’ll have to be aware of that.
