If they would let you use the handheld scanner and not remove things from your cart, it would go so much faster. I used to do that at Sam’s a decade ago; dunno if it changed. I still load my cart barcode up on the off chance one of the cool employees is running self checkout because they’ll scan my entire cart in 30s like I wish I could.

I always load the cart barcode up when doing 10-15 item runs at the grocery Costco (a small one that was by my house... groceries and office supplies only). I tried doing that a 'big Costco' recently and they were like what? Don't you want us to bag them? And suggested I put it all on the conveyor.
