    I haven’t had to deal with this in ages. I don’t know why. Are the grocery stores up here just less hostile?
    I figured they’d all just given up on that nonsense. I don’t think the bagging areas are even built with scales any more.

      I’ve heard it varies by area and that the “security level” it operates at can be configured by either the store manager or by corporate on a per-store basis.

      The ones around me used to be decent until they cranked the security up to the point where the machine basically stops and frisks you.
