And that’s basically it!
On the flip side, I was at the Shop-Rite self checkout one time, and every time I put something into my own bags I got the "unscanned item" alert. I kept looking over at the employee in charge of the checkout area with an enraged face and he would clear the alert and look apologetic. After like the tenth time this happened, I finally realized it was happening because I wasn't actually scanning anything -- I was just taking shit from my cart and putting it right into my bags. I have no idea why I had this brain fart all of a sudden, but I suppose I could have gotten a bunch of free groceries if I hadn't apologized to the dude and put everything back in my cart and scanned it properly.
So embarrassing gotta give you bravo for sharing
doesn’t help that the scanner noise from the other scanners is a cacophony of shit beeps and notifications- it’s super easy to think that beep was yours.
Ah that's hilarious. Nothing worse than figuring out I'm the idiot. Hehehe
