My big annoyance is those little old ladies who either pay in one dollar bills or who insist on writing a check. Those who insist on paying with ones insist on fishing through their purses so that an order of $32.13 is paid with 32 ones and 13 pennies. The ones who write checks write their checks out like each one is the declaration of independence. Then, when they are asked for ID, they take about twenty minutes to find a driver’s license. Why go through it all? Why not just use a stinking debit card? The money will come straight out of your account, just like a check, and you don’t have to show ID or fill out those nauseating check balancing books because the debit is ALREADY SHOWN IN YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE!

/end of rant

Likewise, I have never (and never would) act on it.

That's why I like to use the self-checkout lanes when I only have a few items, and nothing that needs clerk intervention. The little old ladies are too scared to use that new-fangled technology!

But, I will confess, when it was just before payday, I'd use the self-check to buy a six-pack of beer with saved pocket change, late at night. That way, I didn't look so darned desperate!
