I see, that explains the confusion.

Costco recently came to my country and it feels so incredibly weird to wait for someone to first unpack your stuff and for someone else to scan it, and then someone else packs it again.

I'm in the states, but I still kind of feel weird having them do this. That said, they're much faster at it than me and lines are always huge, so they probably prefer it this way.
