Supermarket automatised checkout.
These are obnoxious inventions
Today, I put my weekly shop through one. I knew this was asking for trouble.
Yes, I am aware what a bagging area is.
All went well till I loaded the area again, when an automated voice , disdainfully enquired, ‘Did I need more time, someone is coming to help you’.
Then when I was about to checkout, a note came up that the transaction could not proceed. So I held my hand up like a naughty boy. . Eventually someone came. He told me rather arrogantly that Ithe machine could not tell that I was over eighteen. The guy proceeded to press a load of buttons, to allow the transaction to proceed. Although he took three minutes, the computer did not ask him if he needed more time. Why not I thought, he clearly needed someone to help him.
