At my Giant you scan your stuff and weigh the produce and pay at one end of the belt, and bag it at the far end like everybody else. You touchscreen the "produce" key to indicate each recycleable bag you used and it gives you the 5 cent rebate. You end up doing all the work a checkout clerk would do, but at least you know the eggs and bread are not going to be under the kitty litter. I’m confused.

At the SuperFresh near me the employee handing all the problems people run into needs to clear the error then you can proceed. What needs to happen is Giant (and everyone else) needs to go after the suppliers of their self checkout software and get them to accommodate this situation.
