“They usually have one person at these self-checkout lanes in case of problems. I always ask em which one of these fine, upstanding “employees” won the “Employee of the Month” award last month?
Or, “do I get a discount for checking myself out?”
You are a jerk.
You took the words right out of my mouth. Arrogant jerks get under my skin.
“..You are a jerk....”
LOL...yeah, my wife tells me that all time. I tell her that I worked hard all my life to get this way...LOL
FWIW, It’s in the context that it’s said that counts. I only tease with those questions in jest when the machine, or me. screws up and they have to come over to straighten me, or it, out. Most of em know I’m only teasing and laugh with me as we figure it out what went wrong.
Actually, if I only have a few items, I like and use self-checkouts as it’s usually much quicker. Like others have stated, we avoid em if we can if we have a large basket load of groceries, especially if it contains items that need to be looked up. I’ll help bag the stuff while my wife checks out just to speed things up for us and those behind us.
The real jerk is the person that deliberately jumps in line or some old fart that continuously bumps you with their cart while waiting in line to check out....now, that’s a real jerk.
