Excuse me anons, I used to work on pic related. The way they work is every self checkout has a scale under the bagging area and a list of the past 20 or so acceptable weights for each barcode. That's why they all say "please place the item in the bag" after you scan something and won't let you scan the next item until you do. If you scan something then put two of that thing in the bagging area, the weight it sees will be more than whats in its list of weights so it will tell you to wait while it calls the cashier. BUT if the cashier approves the weight discrepancy then that weight you just put in the bag will be saved in its list, which means you can scan/bag the same thing again without an error. This also works if you're one of the first people to buy a new item that the checkout hasn't scanned enough of yet to save 20 acceptable weights for. Also produce doesn't have entries in the acceptable weights list since the weights vary so much. So after you put in a plu for produce it will ask you to place it on the scanner scale first, then it will look for that weight in the bagging area.
