Confessions at the self-checkout.

[FroggyinArk]

honestly i hate the self check outs. they are an invitation to shoplift, and not that accurate, and in my mind, if the storeawnts me to buy there,they better have a person available to take my money and count out my change, i really dont care who knows what i am buying anyway,

See, I'm just the opposite. I do my "big shopping" at the commissary, but when I grab a few things from Giant, I much prefer the self-checkout. I find it to be faster than the human cashiers, and in this area, 99% of the time much friendlier.

A hopeless romantic celebrating his 15 year anniversary maybe?

Once my DH and I picked up a Barbie type doll at Wal-mart for a Romeo and Juliet project our teenage son was doing. That wouldn't have looked so bad if my DH hadn't picked up a 6-pack of beer too. The cashier asked DH if he was going to have a beer and play with his doll?

I thought this was where we could come clean on all the self-checkout shoplifting we've done. Oh well.

My only "confession" is that I am slightly inconvenienced by the self-checkout when I buy beer because I have to walk over to the attendant to show my ID. Slows down the process, but it sure beats waiting in a line streching back into the aisles.

I also had an experience (at a pharmacy - no self-checkout available) where I was buying Immodium (just to have on hand when we went on vacation), some Tinactin (DH got athelete's foot) and gosh, I can't remember what the third thing was, but the cashier acted like I had leprosy! I finally told her that NONE of the items were for ME!

That just screams guilt.

Gee...I must really be in the boon docks because I've never heard of self-check out before

I'm with you! I'll choose to shop at one Home Depot and avoid a different one because the first one has self-checkout. Far as I'm concerned have them both - Froggy and friends can go see the cashiers, we'll take the self-checkout and everybody's happy
