Self Checkout
guess this can go here.
I have never before in my life seen anyone use the divider the 'right' way in the thousands (tens of thousands?) of times I've been in a grocery store
==================================================================================================
A local news meteorologist has gone viral after sparking a debate about the dividers used on the conveyor belts at grocery stores.
Ryan Vaughan is the chief meteorologist at Region 8 News in Jonesboro, Arkansas, on the KAIT network which is affiliated with ABC, NBC, and The CW.
He took to his official Facebook page to educate his followers on "how to use the divider"—the steel or plastic rectangle tube which indicates where one person's shopping ends—at a supermarket checkout.
Vaughan posted two photos showing the divider sitting longways at the end of a group of groceries saying it was "right" and the other photo showed it laying horizontally which he claimed was "wrong."
He captioned the Facebook post: "I'm at the store tonight and noticed some of you don't know how to use the divider. You need to put it long ways to trip the sensor and keep a distance. Some of y'all use it as a privacy fence.."
The post has since gone viral, receiving 19,600 likes and 11,000 comments. While many commenters saw the humor in the post, many people were fired up, causing a fierce debate online.
"I'm gonna need documentation that upholds your claim," commented one fan.
Another added: "Actually no, which is why it fits perfectly sideways not longways."
And a third wrote: "Interesting. As a cashier, the 'wrong' photo doesn't stop the belt... i prefer a small diagonal, doesn't need to be so 'right' pictured... but a little does block the sensor."................
