I hang my bags on the prongs for the store's plastic bags.

If you are having issues that may be why - the prongs are not weighed.
So when you put an item in, it registers weight of item plus weight of
some of your bag (which is heavier than one of theirs) and it gets
confused.

You're better putting the full weight of your bag onto the base and
having the assistant correct so it balances.

Sainsbury's ask you right at the start "Are you using your own
bags?", and if you respond "Yes", it asks you to put your bag in the
bagging area, which then defines the starting weight. Seems to work
quite well, and without the need for an assistant to be involved.

That's what I do. "Unexpected item in bagging area" every time.
