I Was Reminded Today Of Why I Like Self-Checkout

[DavidMcmillan]

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'm addicted to Kum N Go coffee. Many times I've stopped at a location (not knowing the clerk) and been given a free cup when I approach the counter.

Not sure what you're doing wrong, David.

FWIW - they have robots that will do anything now, just in case you're curious.

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.

@DavidMcMillan Shush it with that noise! You’re going against the grain of the grumpy ol’ men here!!

And who buys things in person anymore? Isn’t there like an app or something that ring things up and bring them to my vehicle??!?

She was probably waiting on you to check the 25% gratuity box.

I did say “you’re welcome” as I turned to leave.
