Self-Checkout

[Rodgera]

I love the self-checkout aisle at my super market. The only problem
comes when I leave an item on the scanner too long and the robo-voice
scolds, "Please move your whole milk (or whatever) to the bagging area."

Ordinarily, I just ignore it. But on my last shopping trip, I moved
fast when the voice began shouting, "Please move your pork butt."

I get confused when the checkout chick asks me to
lift up the self raising flour.

When the self-serve checkout says "please take your receipt", the receipt is still being printed. But the machine said to take it so I grab it and pull it out and get about a metre of it. The checkout supervisor has told me I need to wait until it has finished printing, but I just tell them they need to reprogram the computer to not tell me to take it until it has finished printing if they don't want people doing that. Stupid machines. :rolleyes:

Cheers

One of the local supermarket chains had their machines programmed so they would NOT print a receipt until after you had removed your items from the out side, which just used to stuff things up as nearly everyone who wanted a receipt kept waiting with their parcel/s on the scale until the receipt printed - I hope they learnt as the machines have now started printing the receipt when you push the 'yes' button, and its not considered a 'fault' to be fixed sometime......
