        Assert dominance and just use a different machine for the rest of the items. It’s not like an employee is showing up for a while anyway.

        This was funny like a decade ago when it was commonplace.

        Stores in my area solved that at least 6 years ago, maybe even earlier than that.

          Stores near me first put in self checkouts around a decade ago and still have the original, problematic machines. It’s the newer stores or ones recently renovated that have upgraded, but that is rare.
