Answer 1

I was shopping with my grandson (6years old), and there was a rather large lady in front of us. checking out her, rather large trolley. My grandson asked if she was pregnant. she snorted back NO. But he refused to give up. He then said, "well if you are not pregnant, you are too fat, so you MUST be pregnant." I was desperately trying to tell him to be quiet, out of the side of my mouth, I could not give a bit of a kick, Security Cameras. He would not let up, he insisted on saying "either you are pregnant or you are too fat", until she marched off with her trolley now packed and paid for, with me trying to apologise. Shopping with my Grandson when he was young was always very embarrassing...

Answer 4

Hey, I have had a lot of unhappy experiences there. I drop my stuff on the floor after I have scanned it, the "speaker" tells me to put my purchase in the bag...I have trouble doing that. I consider myself fairly intelligent but..I use a live checker now. I am a bit clumsy. Bad shoulders from two shoulder repairs.

The funniest anyway was when we first started using them. I accidentally hit the wrong language button. I'd taken a couple classes awhile back and my husband was with me, so why not show him what I learned. It started out pretty good, but went down hill from there. Finally, I had to call the cashier over to get me the English version. lol

I was working at Variety Outlet....a K-Mart outlet. The sign on the door warned people that the lack of service was why they got their goods for cheap. I was a cashier.....some guy came up and slammed his gallon of paint right on my finger. He had to wait in a line. The tip of my finger. Split my finger plum open....blead like a stuffed pig.....almost had to have it amputated...Spent hours in the ER and seriously it was almost amputation....all for like 1.90 cents.

Rule 1.....the cashier is not the owner....have a problem....take it to management.

Answer 10

I don't do them. I figure that I can avoid problems that way. Most of the time I can communicate with a human better than a machine.
