I like self-checkout except for the sterile computer voice that says such things as "place item in bag." They need to have an option where you can select from a variety of voices, such as the Mr. T voice: "Place the item in the bag, fool! Now git your change! I pity the fool who shops at Lowes!"

"Place the item in the bag, fool! I like that! In all seriousness, Mr. FourPeas belonged to an amateur radio club that was convinced it NEEDED a new two meter repeater with the voice of a woman rather than a man.

We have self-checkout in the "BJ's" (wholesale club) ... I'm not a fan ... it's a two-person job to run the thing with a large number of items. The output end gets backed up. When you go to empty it into a cart the computer times out; thinks you've done with checking out and wants payment. I also wish I could set the machine to STFU. I hate talking computers.

...(T)he Mr. T voice: "Place the item in the bag, fool! Now git your change! I pity the fool who shops at Lowes!" No kidding. This is a great idea. You could have a personal preference that is keyed to the ubiquitous "preferred customer" card. I would love checking out with Mr. T.
Or maybe Captain Kirk... "Place... your item.... in... the BAG!"
I'm going to be laughing every time I go to the grocery store thinking up silly voices they could use.

Oh I agree! I loathe the one at Smith's grocery, who cheerily and perkily reminds me please to place every single stinkin' item I scan "..in the bag!". I find myself muttering to it to please STFU!!!!
