    Scanning something and putting it in a bag, rather than onto the platform next to the scanner, is not theft as far as I know. The machines are set up to nag you after 0.5 seconds of not placing an item on the scale. As a young person this is annoying, but for someone who actually needs to move more slowly it has to be infuriating

      Well, mine are configured for 5 seconds. I can’t really program it to know what theft is, only to know that it should expect to see a weight change in the bagging area after an item is scanned.
