do US stores not have the infuriating scales that weigh everything you scan? If you scan soup, and put down anything else itll scream “UNEXPECTED ITEM IN THE BAGGING AREA” until a staff member clears it

In my area we did for like, three months, then they removed that because the machines would do it all the time to legitimate products.

I'm surprised they cared, it could be there was another reason they removed it. But I've had years without that feature at this point. NE united states.
