Hey guys,
I was at the grocery store earlier. I always use the self scans because by the time I get to go grocery shopping, I want as little social interaction as possible. I usually have headphones on as well - in case anyone gets too friendly.
I had a coupon that the attendant needed to scan. This is the end of my transaction, so my two full reusable bags are sitting on the machine - and the coupon screen is up. I walked the coupon over to her, and she's applying the discount.
I happen to turn around just then and see a young guy walk into the self scan area with two items. He heads right to the register where my stuff is on the machine, as well as my empty cart by my items. He stops right in front of it and just stares at it.
Me: Hey, sir, that register is taken - I'm using it.
Him: *Blinks stupidly at me*
Me: That's my stuff on it...
Him: *Back up from the register, still looking confused.
At this point, I go back to my register and paid for my order.
I want to also mention that there were at least 2 open self scans out of 6 possible machines. I hadn't noticed at the time I told him that was my register, or I would've pointed to one of them.
As I was walking to my car with my items, I see this guy leaving. He still looked like he was missing a few marbles. It was just a weird experience. Maybe he had bumped his head earlier.
