Need entertainment?

[Strygun]

If you guys are looking for some good entertainment, go to your local walmart and check out the 'Self-Checkout' isles. I don't know if your Wal-Mart has them, but mine has 8 of them.

I love to just go to those lines and watch people as they try to scan their items and use the touch-screen computer. People get SO frustrated at the machines. Of course, I can use them with ease because I am technically inclined and therefore know what happens and what it's doing.

For instance, after you scan your item, you are to place it in a bag on the rack. Well, if you don't do that, the computer knows. (because the bags are on a weight table.) So, people will innocently scan their items and place it back in the cart without putting in the bag (which the computer tells you to do.) If you don't place the item in the bag within a certain amount of time (or before you scan your next item) the computer starts to talk to you and says "please place item in bag." If you still don't do it, the computer gets angsty and calls the supervisor over.

This happened at least 5 times tonight while I was in line. It was pure hilarity! There are all kinds of things that can go wrong in those self-checkout lines, and it's worth the wait to watch people get so mad at these machines.

Try it, I dare ya

lol i whent to Sam's club once, and my mom "tried" to uses the selfcheck out while i was still looking at stuff in the store. She got so frusterated, and she acctualy broke it.

I still have yet to see a "self checkout" here in California. That's pretty funny though.

What if people steal?

I hate those damn things. Every time it's the same shit. I'll have 18 items. The eighteenth item: ***ITEM NOT FOUND***

I'll have 15 items, The fifteenth item: ***ITEM NOT FOUND***

EVERY.STINKING.TIME.

My K-Mart had them; they took them out because one lady stole $5,000 worth of merchandise.

[Electrofreak]

Never seen one here in NY.

[ViperGTS]

Ugh...

[Triggar]

I'm boycotting Walmart... I wish Super Target would get self-checkout aisles. But their speedy cashier/bagging service makes up for it

[martyr]

some k-marts in NY have them, and harris teeter of north carolina certainly does.

they're only faster than a human cashier because old people are afraid of them so there aren't any lines.
