There should be a test you ahve to take before using the self checkout. Iv'e seen SO many stupid people trying to use them. Maybe I could write a book about that. SELF CHECKOUT SYSTEMS FOR DUMMIES.

There is a differnece between the machine not working right , and not knowing how to use it. I've had my share of follies with the system too. The thing I'm on about are the people who don't understand thigns like the system uses a laser to read the barcode -- unwrinkling the barcode or removing frost from the barcode ( ice cream ) is more useful than waving the product around in front of the scanner as if it is magically read.

... or the person who tries to buy beer knowing full well that they will hold the line ot check his ID

... and that you can't (in most cases) use gift cards to buy beer

... and that in the face of these two facts, yelling at people , blaming the machine for being broken and holding up the queue for your bottle of maddog is just silly

Also, as horrible as this may sound - I use the self checkout machines becuse you have the option to complete the transaction in English or Spanish. In the normal checkout lines, you don't get that option. It's Spanish or Spanish.

I had never seen someone actually throw things before. It was exceedingly bizarre.
