Answer 2

Keep your scanner clean

Learn where the bar codes are on different types of items, especially the biggest sellers, so you don't have to keep turning the items over.

Move the items to the scanner using your right hand, scan while switching hands on the item,

then use the left hand to move the item off the scanner while using the right hand to reach for the next item to be scanned.

Answer 3

Do scan and then bag or bag while scanning?
