Plus, I'm still out of there in under 5 minutes. The last time I let a guy in front of me who only had 1 item, it turned out it was his first time using self-check.

Fun as it is, I have to place the items in the bagging area then after checking out completely repack them into my own bag since it won't accept the weight of my reusable bag in the bagging area even if it's there before I start.
