So I'm at the Not-The-Floor-Mart with a couple of items and decide to use their ultra fact Self Checkout. Aiding my decision is the fact that all the other checkouts are in use with at least 5 people waiting.
The kid in front of me has two candy bars so it shouldn't take that long. Boy was I wrong.
Beep. Scan the candy. Beep. Scan the other candy. Beep. Pay cash. Beep. Insert cash. BUZZ!
For some unknown reason this 12-year-old can't seem to figure out the concept of inserting two one dollar bills with the president facing up. Add to the problem that both bills are crumpled beyond all recognition. Does he call the attendant for help? No. The kid cancels the transaction and starts over doing exactly the same thing and wondering why it won't work. To make matters worse, the kid's sister is nagging him to no end.
I'm just lucky another normal register became available. There should be a permit given to use Self Checkouts after a two week training course.
