Oh man I nearly gave my SO an aneurysm because I started scanning items while she set up the reusable bags. Both of us were so over that stupid machine getting made about those bags sitting there!
Oh same note too! If you dare start doing something before you've gotten those bags ok'd, or if you plunk down a bag before it prompts you to do so it's like you're committing a felony.
You gotta time it with a heavy item. Some machines have tolerances for weight (or so it seems). So I always pick my heaviest item and put it down at the same time I put the bag down. Basically bagging it and placing it down at the same time. That "tricks" the machine into not realizing the extra weight is from a bag since the bag should be within the weight tolerance of the heavy item.
I've never had it fail.
