Milk is frustrating to scan? I did it yesterday just fine...
I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. People find it difficult to maneuver? Can't find the bar code? Self checkouts tend to have a hand scanner too, and they could use that.
I'm going to guess that this is regional or vendor specific, because I've literally never seen a self-checkout with a hand scanner. And if I ever did, I would expect it to transform into a broken, dangling cable within a few months.
I know Walmart has them, it's kinda necessary considering the size of some of the products they sell.
