I mostly despise self checkout stations at stores but will reluctantly use them if I don’t have much stuff, the lines are long and/or I anticipate the person in front of me will be a slow dipshit.

Yesterday I went to a grocery store I mostly despise because it’s the only one in the area with a decent seafood selection. I go to checkout and it’s a usual mess in the employee-managed lanes so I sigh and head over to self checkout. I’m ringing up my items and the machine talks to you as you scan your items. For instance, I put my 2 bananas on the scale, entered the produce number off the sticker and the machine says:

“Please put your … BANANAS … in the bag.”

And then about 3 seconds later, the machine at a lady’s self checkout station behind me proclaims:

“Please put your … TAMPONS … in the bag.”



Poor lady.

At least she didn't ring up prunes and toilet paper.

Got to my first kiosk at the UPS store for AMAZON RETURNS -- long lines for sure ...especially since most people have to log on the stores internet ( enter a password with a tiny finger - like many folks around these parts ) then find your old email with the scan on the screen ....
