Observation No. 1,036,997

I’ve decided I really like the U-Scans at the grocery store because they still card me for beer.

    I like them because I can claim stupidity an get good deals on produce.

    Pay regular brocolli price for crowns, get Fuji apples for granny smith prices, etc.

    That’s what they get for making me bag my own groceries.

    Alot of guys think that thunder and lightning eminates from their penises and the biker in the link just adds proof. He’s just lucky it didn’t end up looking like a Ball Park Frank that’s been on the grill 1-2 hours longer than it should have… :wang: :wtf: :limp: :dead:

    “Oh, I’m glad I’m NOT an Oscar Meyer weiner, that is what I’d never want to be. Cause if I was an Oscar Meyer weiner, God just fried the piss right out of me”! :limp: What lengths a guy won’t go to in order to get a dick story in the paper.
    Re: U-Scans- yeah I don’t mind being carded for beer and huffables, still yet.

    In my state it’s the law … everyone is carded if they’re 16 or 116, so it’s merely irritating. Especially if you get behind some indignant old fart who wants to make a federal case out of it. :(

    the Kroger scanners are horrible — ugly/bad UI, multiple and separate inputs (touchscreen, card swipe, cash entry, etc). just thinking about them gets me agitated.

    I think it is every citizen of the world’s duty, nay calling, to destroy these insidious devices upon sight.

    In this part of the planet, the hotel association wants to do away with cash altogether in pubs to discourage robberies.

    The thinking is - no cash - no problem, cards only thanks.

    Can anyone else see anything wrong with this?

    Stedging required.

    To hear most of my various college dorm mates, quite a few of them. Granted, there WAS a fair amount of alcohol involved…

    I agree. In Nevada, it’s Smith’s (same company as Kroger). They use a female voice and it NAGS!
    “Please insert your Fresh Values Card.”
    “Please insert your Fresh Values Card.”
    “Did you remember your Fresh values Card?”
    AAArrrrrGGggHHHhh! Shut up! I’m trying to get the damn postage stamp sized card out of my wallet!
    “Please insert your Fresh Values card.”

    My nightmare is that they make those self service checkout line voices interactive…

    “Why the hell haven’t you inserted your card yet, idiot? Can’t you see that there are people waiting behind you? You know, you COULD have had the card ready BEFORE you got to the scanner…” :twisted:

    I prefer to use the self-serve scanners so I can bag my own things. Look kid, you put the eggs on the bottom again and I’ll smash you with this can of soup! :evil:

    I feel if U-SCAN tells me to do the cashier’s work, I should be paid for buying the groceries, too.

    (Queue Johnny Cash guitar riff)

    ..and they called him ‘Lightning Rod’.

    I only use the u-scans when I have only one maybe two items. Otherwise I still look for the shortest line or a friendly clerk’s face. :lol:
