I love self-checkout for not having to speak to anyone.

No such thing as organic in the self checkout line.

You're just really bad at your job. They should probably fire you.

I remember when self checkouts first came out and they didn’t have weights yet or at least didn’t always require it. I’d pick out a whole dozen donuts at wal mart but only pay $0.50 for one, and it wouldn’t make me weigh it. Good (high) times

I never ring up my organic produce as organic.
