Here (UK) the customer can do it as there is a numeric keypad on the screen of
the self serve. There's one barcode that will stick in my memory for ever from
when I worked on a till 50201600 A Cadbury's Creme Egg (due to their shape the
individual eggs never scanned). I did used to know a lottery ticket as well but
that seems to have escaeped me!
This was from the days where the till was just a numeric keypad with function
buttons...no touch screen, and a single dotmatrix line display. When the place
I worked finally did upgrade there was a dedicated button for Creme Eggs and
Lottery Tickets...you could also Win Key + R and load up solitaire for those
long shifts!
