Machines don't know their place - Lemmy.World

I wish fucking supermarkets would understand this. I don’t have to be told in a super loud fucking annoying voice that I need to place the object in the bagging area, or switch to the other machine to use my card. I’ve already hit the fucking button to use the cc machine, you fucking nonces! I’ve already placed the goddamn stupid fucking bananas in the stupid fucking bagging area, shut the fuck up! AAAAAH!

It’s even worse now because you used to be able to mute the mother fucker, but now they’ve disabled that option.

I’ve had good luck with Walmart self-checkouts, they seem to trust you are doing the right thing. Price Chopper stores though… my god.

“Please place the item in the bag”

“Please remove the item from the bag, and start again” (yes with the pause)

“Do you have any coupons?”

“Do you have any items under the cart?”

NO! SHUT UP!

“Do you have any items under the cart?”

That one’s actually kinda useful, TBH. I used to work as a bagger, and it’s surprising how many times shoppers forget (whether intentionally or not) they put a pack of water bottles or tissue paper or something on the bottom of the cart.

Yeah, that one is useful. I know why they’re there but it gets very old after a while.
