And I don't like the voice at the auto check out.

Did you ever touch one of the bags after you put something in it?

"Do not remove items from the bag" says FemAutoVoice.

"I'm sorry..." I mumbled.

"I said, 'put the damn stuff back in the bag.'"

Looking around to see if everyone was noticing this embarrassing exchange, I reached out to replace the item.

FemAutoVoice screeched, "Are you touching the bag. Hands off the bag. What are you some kind of idiot?!" . Then (I swear) FAV cackled a hideous little laugh as it issued new instructions.

"Go Directly to the customer assistance clerk."

I looked up into the blue-green visage and pale, deadly eyes of the Wicked Witch of Krogers.

"I'll get you my prettie.... Ahhh hah hah hah hah hah!"

Never do that. Never.

First time I used one of those I noticed as I left my spinach on the counter too long was the voice saying "Please move your spinach". That spurred a thought and next time in the store I went looking down the fruit and veggie aisles trying to find something to buy just to make it say something funny.

press the Spanish button, just for kicks.

if/when you can't figure it out, the clerk will come over and treat you like you ride the short bus. when they're done, you can say politely in a quite American accent, "thanks a bunch!"

Oooh, I hate that falsely cheerful voice that Smith's (western Krogers)has. "Please place the item you are attempting to steal back in the bag!"
