the scannners don't figure out the weight of each item scanned and keep it in some secret database. instead both the counter you set your groceries on and the one with the bags are scales. if you pick up one pound of fruit, the machine expects to sense one pound added to the side with the bags. simple enough.

technically you could scan 3 pounds of fruit and put something else weighing 3 pounds in the bag and the machine would never know.
