BYC Café

One more thing and I'll quit. My brother was checking out at the grocery store, they have aisles where you do it yourself. He got mad that the register didn't deduct the sale prices on several items. So he was smacking the machine around until a worker came over and saved it.
She said the machine doesn't give the true total minus cpns./ sales. UNTIL you scan in every item you are buying instead of just the sale stuff.

I have never beaten a machine in my life, I admit I have cussed a blue streak in my younger days(defective candy machines). Then I figured the machine was just doing the best it could - just like me. No more temper. Easy peasy. Some men just rush to fury over the smallest thing- think they were babied too much as youngsters.

We weren't allowed to get my brother angry because he had diabetes, he used to pull the meat cleaver out of the kitchen drawer and chase my sister & I. We used to push furniture against the bedroom door. My mother always said she was going to have a heart attack - nah, she never did.

She died at 77 when her breast cancer came back and had spread. She had refused the treatment they advised her to take, radiation and or/ chemo. Refused the morphine for pain because she was afraid she'd become an addict.
The self checkout machines can be frustrating!

They are getting better here though and it is very true that hitting them will not make them work better
