You ever have that moment when a self-checkout just decides it doesn’t want to work? I had a customer scan the same apple six times while the machine kept insistently telling us to ‘remove the item.’ By the end, we both had a good laugh, but man, I felt bad for her! It’s like the machines have a mind of their own sometimes.
I’ve had that happen too! One time, I just kept hitting ‘start over’ until it finally processed. > ‘they have a mind of their own’ — couldn’t agree more! Have you noticed any tricks that help win the battle with those machines?
, I totally get that! The other day, a self-checkout tried to charge me twice for a single banana, and I had to call someone over just for them to reset it. It can be so frustrating when they act like they’ve got a mind of their own.
Isn’t it wild how an apple can become such a struggle? I once had a customer scan a single item 10 times because it kept saying ‘please remove the item.’ At least you both could laugh about it in the end! @martinez53, have you noticed whether the newer machines are any better?
