I wish it wasn't limited in quantity. Most places cap it out at 10-20 items. They don't enforce it too strongly, but I'd love it if I could do my weekly bulging-cart 200-item grocery checkouts myself.

I get most groceries at the local Walmart. Their self checkouts try to limit you by having a small bagging area. I work around it by putting the bags directly back into the cart.

We also have an upscale local grocery chain in town with baggers that will take your stuff out to your car if you want, but I hate it because it simply takes too long. Never go there unless I only need a few items, or something that only they carry. Their olive oil is sublime!

So you’re one of those clueless people that I curse who try to bring a full size cart stuffed with items through the self checkout? There is never enough room so they spend lots of time juggling items between the basket to checkout and back to basket. They are never the ones who know how to scan quickly or how to pack efficiently. It clogs up the process for everyone!
