The self checkouts at the grocery store near me used to have an absolute fit every time I placed my bags on the bagging section, after pressing the "I want to use my own bags" button that it has.

Every single time I asked, the cashier said it was because the machines were calibrated so that it considered the weight of a bag equal to the (somewhat flimsy) plastic reusable grocery bags that they sold. Anything heavier must be theft! So alert an associate. And half the time I was treated like this was my fault for bringing in a heavier (sturdier) bag, lol.

After having that problem for ages they finally fixed it (/got a manager to approve fixing it), but man, chuck it on the fucking pile of reasons I don't go there unless I have to.
