Self-Check Out

[W. Gray]

This is a follow on to a recent thread discussing the self-checkouts in stores such as Wal-Mart.

At the self-check out today, we were able to weigh and price bananas without human intervention except that after placing the bunch on the scale, we had to punch in the store code for bananas. The code was stamped on one of the bananas. Apparently, they cannot or are not creating bar codes to automate this task.

I also noticed each self-check station takes coupons and will take exact change, without human intervention.

After leaving Wal-Mart, the wife wanted to go to Target. When checking out, there were 15 checkout lanes, long lines, and only two checkers. I looked around for a self-check out and there were none.

Boy, was I wrong. I thought self checkout meant feeling for lumps in your breast or testicles.

You say they do that stuff at Wal-Mart?

Goodness gracious Rudy!

You've been going to Walmart and feeling for lumps in your breasts and testicles?

It's a wonder you didn't get arrested!

The Dillions in Topeka, KS have the self check outs . I have even checked my Millers Chillers out. The Checkers do take a look at you but it was fast and I did not have to speak to a person.Some days after work when you talked or heard people talking all day all you want is to get in and get out.
Technology is great.

Can someone tell me were the spell check is on this sight!!!?
