i'm from australia not england but our self checkouts also have The Bagging Area and it's weight-sensitive. it's meant to prevent theft but the problem with that is that it assumes that the thief is going to not scan the item but will put it in the bagging area instead of just... in their pocket. which i guess makes sense for bigger items but you could still just complete the whole transaction and then move it into the bagging area without paying idk. you also have to tell the machine if you've brought your own bag or else it'll UNEXPECTED ITEM IN THE BAGGING AREA you.

omfg in the netherlands it's so different you just scan stuff and put it in your own bag immediately.. and then sometimes you get random checks but they just have to scan i think 5 items you scanned? which does not work because if you guy 8 items and then steal 2 more just just hand them 5 of the items you did pay for. and then you have 3 you also paid for and 2 you didnt pay for also in your bag???? so i literally don't get how it's supposed to work 😭 it's honestly that i'm too nervous to steal but otherwise i would
