As an older guy now. Half my self checkouts get abandoned if things don't work. Just walk out, the company doesn't have much invested in it anyway.

Because gas stations don’t have those stupid scales and give the message “place the item in the bagging area” >

Or "please wait for cashier" so much for not talking to anybody on my high shopping trip. >

This ^ makes me wanna drop everything and leave >

I have just left my purchase and walked out before. More than once. 
The best was when I was doing it and the self checkout only had room for one bag. I had about 3 bags of groceries. So once I filled a bag I took it and put it in my cart which caused the whole machine to alarm and stop. 
Th cashier starts to berate my angrily so I said fuck this shit “literally” and just stormed off.
