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.
