You would think people understand them by this point, I mean they’ve been around for at least a couple decades or so by now. It’s just like how I don’t understand how people below the age of 70 don’t understand computers…I mean Win 95 was out 30 years ago!! I used it as a child, and if a 30-40 year old can’t outperform a child, that is straight up embarrassing.
Kids are extremely good at learning new things, and on average, old people are not. Whatever explanation to this state of things you prefer, and there’s obviously exceptions, this is just how it is.
Tbf, there are definitely some items that just REALLY do not work well with self check. Really light items that it can’t properly sense the weight on or anything age restricted are the first 2 that spring to mind but I’m sure there are others.
No matter how good at self check you are, if your order contains a greeting card and a box of cold medicine odds are the damn thing is gonna completely shit the bed.
Which, if you have any ounce of self-awareness, would mean you wouldn’t go to self-checkout with them.
Though the weight issue is more a setup issue. You can register something as having negligee weight, whether or not they do is the fault of the store or the checkout manufacturer.
In my experience, people often don’t know that they’re weighted. They’ll set purses and other personal items on the scales then wonder why the machine won’t let them continue.
The worst part about self-checkouts is the people who spend 20 minutes trying to figure them out.
I’m in and out in a few minutes, even with a cart full of stuff.

Where do you have self checkouts with weighing?
Sounds like uk, they have anti theft measures but usually just bugs out
Wait you guy’s don’t? European here, and I remember them always weighting things.
Not in Finland.
The biggest supermarket chain here did recently add these exit gates that only open by scanning your receipt, which was mildly annoying.
