Self Checkout

Do you hate self-checkout kiosks? Do you find them to be difficult, time-consuming and frustrating? Well, you’re wrong. It’s not the self-service kiosks that are the problem. It’s you.

For starters, you’re clearly unable to follow directions. When you buy an apple, you put the apple in the bag which needs to be on the designated place to the side of the kiosk where there’s a scale underneath so the machine can verify the weight of the apple otherwise you cannot proceed to the next item. Do you not see that? Can you not follow these instructions? Every apple counts, dammit. What is wrong with you?

Also, you’re a terrible speller. It’s not “broccolli” it’s “broccoli” – never mind that you are juggling groceries, bags and a small child. Learn to spell! C’mon, there are two T’s in prosciutto! And it’s Thousand Island dressing, not 1000 Island.

Geez, these are basic facts. No, not everything has a barcode on it. You can’t blame the self-service kiosks if they require basic literacy……..
