Avocado-No-No, Part 5

Ignoring & Inattentive, Michigan, Retail, Self-Checkout, USA | Right | April 14, 2026

I’m a self-checkout attendant in a grocery store. I’m helping an elderly customer who’s having trouble navigating our produce selection menu (the scanner HATES the barcodes on the produce stickers for some reason). She’s using the search bar, but the letters she’s typing don’t make sense.

Me: “What are you trying to type?”

Customer: “Kiwi!”

Me: “…Ma’am, you’re holding an avocado.”
