Self-checkout. What is this, some kind of new job I’ve taken on? I’m already buying the groceries, now I have to *scan* them? ‘Unexpected item in the bagging area!’ Oh, really? An unexpected item? It’s the item I just scanned! Where else would it go? It’s not like I’m trying to smuggle a cantaloupe! And then the voice, that condescending robot voice, telling me to ‘Please place item in bagging area.’ I know where to place the item! I’ve been placing items in bags my whole life! What am I, a novice bagger? And then you try to weigh produce, and it asks if it’s a ‘red delicious apple’ or a ‘gala apple.’ How am I supposed to know the difference? They’re both red! It’s an apple! Just charge me for an apple!
