Print up your own bar code stickers and put them over the real ones.
The machine doesn't know a 2x4 from a bathroom sink. Go through the
self service isle.

Hee, hee, hee. That actually sounds like fun.

I'd be careful about proceeding with that plan, though. Don't know about
Home Depot, but I'm pretty sure the machine at my local grocery store knows
the difference in weight between a baguette ("Please place item in bagging
area.") and a canned ham.

On the other hand, I suppose one could enter "32" baguettes.....but I'm not
sure that would represent a substantial savings over the price of the pig
meat.
