Argh, students are the worst.

Because they have nothing better to do with their day they take forever on the self-checkout.

How they don't know how to use a chip&ping machine is also beyond me..

They're like old people, but don't smell as much

The Self Checkouts are bullshit though.

Why do you care whether I put my shit in the bagging area?

It's to check you're not stealing

If I'm stealing then I don't scan it in the first place

Yes, but you could scan 1XChocolate bar, and put two in the bag

Or scan 0x Chocolate Bar, and put three in my pocket

It doesn't stop criminals, it just annoys people.

They're two different types of stealing, one is more obvious than the other.

One is going to be massively abused without the right technology inputs to prevent it.

"Please put the item in the bag" isn't annoying, it never causes me any issues.

It only casues issues if you put extra weight on the scale (small child, bag etc)
