They've just recently replaced all their self checkout stations with new ones that do that, so maybe the ones near you are still the old ones.

They actually just installed a bunch of new stations in the Kroger closest to me, so I'm reasonably certain they aren't old. The ones they installed don't do what you're talking about though.
