I'd add one more- I set my purse down on the scan area (the only flat surface) to get my credit card out and get the "unable to scan item, please try again". I try to set it with the bags and get the "unexpected item in bagging area, please remove from bagging area". If I dont want to hold it while scanning and bagging I end up having to keep switching purse between shoulders or set it on the floor (which feels insecure).

They had to know that women carry purses and don't always have a cart to set them down in, but they gave us nowhere to set them while scanning or bagging things and it just creates a mess.
