[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2431882, member: 26737"] Weird--it's like you know me or something. Have you been following me? Do you work for the NSA? I wish they'd keep the self-check counters open 24x7, so I don't have to wait in a 30-minute line at 11pm while the slowest checker in the entire Wal-Mart corporate structure mans the only open register in the whole damned store--and has to request a price check because some chick brought up a cartload of all the store's items with no bar codes on them. I'm surprised that they haven't figured out that you can have that one checker cover seven or eight self-check registers; that would seem to be right in Wal-Mart's corporate wheelhouse. And I LOVE the self-checkout at Home Depot--I don't know the PIN for my debit card, so I always hit Cancel, and the HD machine automagically runs it as a credit card. On the WM system, it doesn't matter if I press Credit first, it tries to run it as a Debit card and asks me for the PIN, then when I hit "Cancel," I have to go back and choose Credit AGAIN. At least I can skip the superfluous first step by just swiping the daggone card... ETA: DO I LOOK LIKE A <BLEEP>ING PEOPLE PERSON TO YOU? [/QUOTE]
