You know what annoys me? People who insist on putting an entire week's worth of groceries through them. For no apparent reason besides their crippling fear of interacting with a human being while in a store.

Seriously, these things were made to make paying for your shit faster. Y'know, so that people who only have a few things to buy and need to be doing something USEFUL with the rest of their day don't have to sit in the damn lines. The amount of times I've had to sit and wait for the 4 people using the machines to finish glitching the fuck out of them and then taking a LITERAL hour to pack all their stuff into bags after they finish scanning it (yes, people here are so dumb they can't handle scanning and bagging at the same time) completely destroys the whole reason to have the machines in the first place.

We need to enforce a 10 item maximum on self-checkout machines. Like, right now.

Hahaha, here is true story my local wall-mart had 8 self check out counters, but a mixture of self checkout incompetence and out right thievery made them close all 8 down. LOL

I was at Wal-Mart and it was at around 8 so everybody who got off their jobs was there so the self-checkout was completely filled. Their was two self-checkout machines open and no one would dare go to them and then some guy did and they broke it. :(

*scans item*
"Please wait for assistance."
Wh--Why am--
*cashier arrives*
Did I break--
"It wants to know if you want to buy the warranty for this item. Warranty is void upon purchase."
No I don't, but why the fuck--
*cashier mashes password into machine and fucks off*

Irony wins another round.

Fuck dem machines, people power, mutha fucker!!
And for the record, I was alive before complete UPC labeling and scanners... you think you got a wait now? Yeah, guess they're good for an handful of items :\ but my store isn't bad for waits. Plus it's 24/7... but it's in a bad town for cops :|
And yeah, I hate being old... actually did learn something from you blog. Huh, they weigh the shit to corroborate the POS info.... neat. But I'd still rather patronize people, instead of electronic gizmos.

You nailed the line rules. I went to a gas station recently and while I was paying for my gas, some dumb fat lady was breathing down my neck, shouting on her phone, and made sure to put down her candy barn and soda on the counter in front of me because God forbid she has to hold it while I give the clerk my credit card.

You know what? Fuck everybody.
