I stopped at an Acme that I don't usually go to, and I just needed a few things, so I planned to use the self checkout. (At this one, each register has space for two bags, and they're on a scale so the machine can tell if you put something in without scanning it). All the regular registers had very long lines... and all the self checks were busy so there was a few people in a line. So I get in line, and after a bit I realize I'm behind the oldest people that have ever shopped. And they're here....going to try and scan their own crap....
If we weren't out of TP, I would have just ditched.
The old farts were next, then two people behind them, then me. The oldies get a checkout, and then the other one opens, we move up...etc.
I shit you not, all of us used one checkout one right after another and the bitty and her husband were still trying to figure that damn thing out. They'd scan something, then for some reason scan it again, then the clerk would void it, then the woman SAT DOWN NEXT TO THE BAGS.....then her husband starts "telling" the machine that he most certainly did NOT put an unscanned item in the bag, the woman starts calling the clerk over again, repeatedly saying "Yoo hoo!!" (for future reference, I hate that, my GM does that and it makes my hair stand on end). By the time we left, they were still scanning things- they had a small basket of things- totally ridiculous. I have no idea how that clerk didn't shove that basket right up their heinies....
And to think, they likely DROVE there in a car. Incidentally, on my way out there was another old woman outside looking dumbfounded after she apparently backed her car into the building...
