Suggestion regarding checkout, conveyor belts and "levitating" products

[bicZoid]

Switch the conveyor belt to the middle and have a solid section at the end where customers put down the food - and then have the items slide down to the bag, not float.

They're not large checkout areas and we're only dealing with one customer at a time, so it's not like they need a conveyor area to set down food since the items just end up staying static anyway.

When I'm in-game, "I" (as the store owner) am thinking, "Do these people not notice the groceries flying through the air?" :-)

never seen a checkout with the conveyor in the middle

The conveyor belt moves the items closer to you. At least in mine it does.

Ok, I went back in and now see how I was wrong about that. I guess I wasn't really paying attention to the "layout" of the items on the belt. I guess all this time (well, 10 hrs) I never thought "If I click the items from front to back, then the ones in the back will move forward." Duh. I tended to do columns instead of rows, or "bagging" like items together regardless of where they were - and thus nothing ever moved.

So I guess this makes my comment about the belt completely void, lol.

But, I still think the flying groceries should be addressed somehow, given how the checkout area operates (at least up until this point). I mean, sure, the setup makes sense, it's just the flying groceries. There's got to be a more realistic way to get them into the bag.
