I think it's weight. You're supposed to put everything on one scale, scan it and then put it on another scale. If the weights don't add up, then the process is halted until the check out person overseeing four to six check out areas comes over to see what happened.

Plus the Clerks principle:
Quote:
INT: CONVENIENCE STORE. DAY

A NOTE on the counter next to a small pile of money reads:

PLEASE LEAVE MONEY ON THE COUNTER. TAKE CHANGE WHEN
APPLICABLE. BE HONEST.

DANTE and VERONICA are slumped on the floor, behind the
counter. VERONICA holds DANTE in her arms, his head on her
chest. Change is heard hitting the counter.

DANTE
(to O.C. customer)
Thanks.

The door is heard opening and closing-a customer leaving.

VERONICA
How much money did you leave up
there?

DANTE
Like three dollars in mixed change
and a couple of singles. People
only get the paper of coffee this
time of morning.

VERONICA
You're trusting.

DANTE
Why do you say that?

VERONICA
How do you know they're taking the
right amount of change? Or even
paying for what they take?

DANTE
Theoretically, people see money on
the counter and nobody around, they
think they're being watched.
Sorry, str8, formatting's fucked up.
