I’ve been in a Dollar General store before, that had 4 self checkouts, that were all out of order.

There were 2 human run registers, but no humans to even be found.

I hollered across the store “DOES ANYONE EVEN WORK IN THIS MOTHERFUCKER?!”

Almost needless to say, an employee came to the register, but in hindsight, I probably should have just said fuckit and walked out with the merchandise.

If I accidentally put something in the bag before it scans, it catches it immediately, but if it double scans the barcode, it can’t tell it overcharged and the employee has to cancel it 🤔

I’ve gotten pretty friendly with the woman who manages to self checkout area.

I’ve never had a problem with the scanners, I use them every week.

Then, just a few days, ago…

I got something I don’t usually, it was supposed to be $24, but it rang up as $48. I was on the wrong hook, as it turned out. Anyway, I didn’t want it for $48, so the lady had to help me. She happened to be standing about five feet from me when it happened, and she saw it happen before I asked her. She was taking care of it on her little device.

Thing is, when I noticed it scanned incorrectly, I accidentally put the coffee I was holding in my other hand in the bag without scanning it and without thinking.

So, as soon as she canceled the sale for the thing, another error pops up, which flustered me again, and I kid you not, I did the same damn thing, I put ANOTHER item in the bag without scanning it and without thinking about it or noticing. Like the fucking idiot I am. While I was apologizing for the first unscanned item ANOTHER error appeared.

She was very kind, dealing with the village idiot.

LPT never pick up anything except the single thing you’re scanning.

So many times I’ve had to wait on the cashier to clear me, because I was holding a second item in my off hand, and it thought I was pulling a fast one
