Self-Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself, Part 11
I see a couple with a basket waiting for the self-checkout area that I am currently managing. The guy notices that a regular checkout lane is actually open.
Man: “Hey, this checkout lane is empty. Let’s go!”
Woman: “No, it’s okay. Let’s use self-checkout.”
Man: “But there’s a line here, this one’s free. Let’s go.”
Woman: “No, it’s fine! I want to use self-checkout.”
The man takes the basket from her anyway and forces them both to checkout using the regular checkout. At first, I think this guy is being insensitive, what if she has social anxiety and prefers a non-human interaction at the self-checkout?
My sympathy for her is dispelled when I see them pass my section towards the exit, arguing in a loud whisper:
Man: “Well how was I supposed to know you were planning on stealing all that s***! Next time tell me!”
Thanks, dude! Now I’ll remember you both the next time you’re in my self-checkout area!
