I understand your point, but is they tell me no limit, that means no limit. If you only have 6 boxes of Little Debbie snack cakes get your ass in the 20 or less line and leave me the fuck alone.

The self checkouts were made so that I may not be made to wait at one of the 3 out of 56 checkout lanes that happen to be manned by actual (and I use the term loosely) people, so get the fuck out. And on another note...kindly expound upon those who do want to write a check....after getting all their shit scanned, and the cash registress announces their total...only THEN do they get their checkbook out and begin writing. Way to get on with things, Speedy.

And on another note…kindly expound upon those who do want to write a check….after getting all their shit scanned, and the cash registress announces their total…only THEN do they get their checkbook out and begin writing. Way to get on with things, Speedy.

We are becoming a nation of idiots who can't speak English properly. Soon, we'll all be grunting like cavemen instead of forming words and sentences. Devolution is inevitable. I refuse to go into a store with my father because he won't allow me to use the self-checkout. He'll rant about how I'm just taking away someone's job by doing it myself. The diatribe typically lasts longer than my patience. Ben — unfortunately, there are few people that understand the difference between count and non-count nouns.

The only thing worse than watching you study the little display is watching you slowly wave your index finger around in circles over the screen in anticipation of selecting "Pay Now".

Seriously, ya donkey-dick-suckers, be prepared..... ya know like when you take 20 minutes to choose the "right" condom so you can have ass sex with your corn hole sloppy second? Yeah, like that., prepared. Thanks for allowing me the rant. Hey, that felt good! And, please don’t think of bringing a INK PEN when you know you will be writing a check.
