It’s tied to the scanner so it knows nothing scanned, if you can stack two items and scan only one you can trick it, but the scale will pick up to much added weight so you gotta do something light. Clothes are good.
Some have the skip bagging button so you can just leave stuff in the cart and use the zapper but I think most stores are getting rid of that as an option.
My local store flagged me cause I had my coffee cup in the cart. It said, “you only scanned 5 items” and it thought I had 6 in the cart. I was a bit surprised cause I didn’t know it was that far of a view.
Seems like a system like that would be easily fooled by confidently moving an item across the scanner and into the baggage area without scanning it.
I did this by accident and the AI was all over it.
It’s a pretty good deterrent for regular folks who might be tempted to try. Criminals gonna crime tho.

If they’re anything like the scanners at giant, looking at the scale wrong throws it off.
PLACE ITEM IN BAGGING AREA. UNSCANNED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA. Fuck off.
