Am I the only one who gets to the self checkout and is compelled to finish as soon as humanly possible?

Imagine if there was a speedrun timer on them and a leaderboard

Would make boring everyday life a little more interesting

    Protip: On many self-checkouts, if you open the “item by code” menu and keep scanning items with the menu open, the machine will beep with every item you scan, but it won’t actually add it to your total. Loss prevention only listens for beeps.

      I won’t get into the minutiae of grocery theft… but that’s not necessarily a great idea. It may prevent LP from catching on initially, but when they do, you may be in a world of hurt… While accidentally missing scans can never be proven as malicious, especially if your goal is to move as fast as possible.
