Well, the positive interpretation of the place you live based on this story is that the people in the place you live are extremely polite and compliant lol.

You can’t weigh the vegetable at the checkout.
Every other store can do that.
We don’t have a scale in the checkout. You have to walk across the store while everyone is waiting for you because the checkout can’t be canceled to weigh the vegetable and put a sticker on it. It is not guaranteed that the sticker will be recognised at checkout.
Oh you have a deposit receipt? At checkout to get it done quickly? If you’re receiving money a clerk has to come over to approve.
You want out? No, the gate won’t open unless you have a receipt. Yeah, yeah, the code reader is, well, confused.

Stupid customers. Did you see how someone accidentally shattered the gate?

Holy shit, better question is what country do you live in? Self checkout is problematic at best in Canada

I think it really depends on the store. In the UK I have to say that they’re generally pretty terrible, but the ones M&S (a UK supermarket) are normally fine. Tesco’s has the worst ones, they are always complaining about something and there’s never enough cashiers to fix them. Plus of course occasionally they just decide to pick on you and rescan all your items.
IKEA ones are floorless though

Not who you asked but I live in Poland and our self-checkouts are pretty flawless in my opinion. Simple combination of scale, bardcode scanner and touch screen and voila. Most shops that have them, have at least four of them. Supermarkets often have 6-8 and dedicated employee to oversee them, sometimes with their own touch screen and ability to bypass age checks or weight problems from their stand without moving to you.
They only scream if you scan something age-restricted or if weight doesn’t match. The second problem was much bigger in beginning, nowadays it’s actually rare.
