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

Not really you leave it in the cart and bag it as you scan it

[–] ayyy 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

You act as if it doesn’t work the same way with a full cart cause it does, so what if I am that wasn’t even the subject

That is the subject, walmart punishes frugal people.

For people who want/need to consolidate their grocery shopping so they don't have to drive to the store more than once a month. And also people who use their own reusable bags. These scenarios don't fit into the automation well in some places.
