Brings all the boys to the yard, and damn right, it's better than yours...
Learning self check out and how it works yesterday, a customer attempted, multiple times, to swipe an item (pita breads, I think) and started to get pissy when I couldn't figure out why the scanner wasn't picking up his scans. So, I tried to swipe it, no go, my trainer took the pita over to the full size computer and tried to scan it, still no good. Guy, standing next to me, blurts suddenly, "You really should get your technology working before you put it in place."
My technology? It works just damn fine, however, from a cursory examination, it would appear part of the barcode on the pitas you were so desperate to buy has been rubbed off, the thing wouldn't have scanned even if you had taken it to a full on register. Oh, hey, look at that, it didn't when my trainer took it over to the full size register that lords over this hegemony of self scanners.
Another customer, after I waved her toward an open check out, stands there, gawping at the screen, and I, alone at that point, approach her. "Problem, ma'am?"
"Aren't you going to scan my groceries?"
'In short, no, in long, NOOOOOOOOOOOO-!' "I'm sorry, but this bank of registers is for people who don't want a cashier. You scan your own purchase," 'Thus why it is called a Self Check Out!'
She gives a pathetic little, "Oh" and turns and walks off.
