Job: cashier

Item doesn't scan

Customer: "That means it's free, right?"

Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I've heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

Well, generally speaking, most people discussing the benefits of appliances and stuff with turn dials are referring to older/simpler appliances, back before they started adding in unnecessary electronics and ‘features’ and stuff.

i don't know why you'd assume that. lots of current/new appliances are still made with dials and knobs. in fact, most are.

also, you're the only one here discussing microwaves. so far, others and myself have been discussing refrigerators and laundry appliances.

OP mentioned microwave ovens in the comment that you responded with "I hate to break it to you..", so yeah guess you missed something there.

i guess you missed the part when i said "i wasn't referring to old appliances," because you're only talking about old microwaves.

and since you're clearly just here to troll and argue. i'm blocking you.

bye.
