Those self checkout machines are TERRIBLE. I’ve used them many times, and they’re only useful to save time if you’re only buying 1-3 simple items. Even then, I always feel fortunate if the transaction isn’t interrupted by the machine requiring assistance from one of the employees that babysit them to come and clear it.

I wouldn’t dare try to use one if I had a cart full of items.

I never use self checkout in any store. My wife asked why. I told her, “I don’t work here.”

No cursing - the machine has a cursor that will do that for you!

I hate self checkout counters anywhere! They always screw up when I’m trying to go through.

I’ve seen people with lots of goods using them, then half way through they will start throwing their goods back in the cart and go looking for a checkout with a person at it.

They finally pulled them out of our local store, then brought them back again. I never use them.

Isn’t a lost tooth a prerequisite to be in the store?

..A RETIREE’S LAST TRIP TO KROGER’S..
Yesterday I was at my local Kroger’s grocery
buying a large bag of Purina Dog Chow for my loyal
pet, Jake, the Wonder Dog, and was in the
check-out line when a woman behind me asked if I
had a dog.

What did she think...I had an elephant?

So because I’m retired and have little to do, on
impulse I told her that no, I didn’t have a dog, I
was starting the Purina Diet again. I added that I
probably shouldn’t, because I ended up in the
hospital last time, but that I’d lost 50 pounds
before I awakened in an intensive care ward with
tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in
both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet
and that the way that it works is, to load your
pants pockets with Purina Nuggets and simply eat
one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is
nutritionally complete so it works well and I was
going to try it again. (I have to mention here
that practically everyone in line was now
enthralled with my story.)

Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive
care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her
no, I stopped to pee on a fire hydrant and a car
hit me.

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a
heart attack he was laughing so hard.

Kroger’s won’t let me shop there anymore.
Better watch what you ask retired people. They
have all the time in the world to think of crazy
things to say.

The 36-year-old man had difficulty completing his transaction and held up the line, much to the chagrin of an unnamed 35-year-old Hispanic male.

The left really hates the non-union, gun selling Walmart, so they get the treatment the left always gives, saturate the public with every meaningless nothing that can contribute to a negative image for them.

At some point they hope to flip Walmart to the left’s benefit.

I’ve cursed many a times at Walmart self checkout machines. They’re about the worst out there. Nothing ever weighs right, so you’re constantly having to tell the damn things to skip the weighing, and pretty soon it shuts down and calls an attendant.
