I stopped in OnCue this morning for a coffee and donut. Went to the counter, the young lady scanned the coffee cup and rang up the donut, without speaking a word. Then just frowned at me until I read the terminal to know how much to pay. I paid, she gave me my receipt, and continued her frown until I turned and left . Not a word, period.

Later this afternoon I went into the Walmart market, gathered my items, scanned them, paid the machine, and was finished, and the machine actually said "THANK YOU" as it printed my receipt.

And then I hear on the news about the minimum wage being raised.

I went to Lowe’s the other day and walked to the self checkout to ring my stuff up and pay. Before I even got to the scanner, some employee was asking if I need help, nope , got this I replied. She bird dogged me until I paid and left. Not sure of the purpose of self checkout if an employee is going to stand there and watch.

I just stare at the employee and do nothing until they acknowledge me.
