Another reason to use self-checkout!

I just love it (not) when I buy a book or magazine and the cashier will stand there and look at it.

Usually the checkout person has seen hundreds of items go by on their shift. And doesn’t really care what they are. They will, or at least should, notice damaged packaging or spoiled food though. And checking your age if buying alcoholic products or tobacco.

They will spend some time though looking for where ‘they’ hid the bar-code or price.

I shop in a supermarket where they require a drivers license to buy a lottery ticket. They swipe it, too.

She’ll never buy limburger cheese at that store again.

Not to worry, the FBI/NSA/CIA are monitoring the scanners for her.

What caused her to mention it in the first place? Something suspicious in the bag?

I’ll sometimes stop at the neighborhood grocery store just to pick up various things to restock the fridge and pantry. One time you could almost see the gears turning, as if the young checkout clerk was trying to figure out what you make with enchilada sauce, peanut butter, pickles, whipped topping, and bread.

And, of course, all your data will be made anonymous (wink, wink; nudge, nudge!)

Wonder what Mom thinks when Rose gathers the ingredients for her rattlesnake chili?
