Because people got confused when they ask you to swipe your cardigan.
They always have the cutest cashiers.
Apparently, it's a series of bark codes.
Guess he made a missed steak.
Dad walks up to the Lowe's cashier attending to the self-checkout machines:
"Excuse me, where's the mirror?"
Cashier goes, "Uh," clearly flummoxed.
Dad, "I just wanted to check myself out."
Machine pumps out 3 brand new one dollar bills
Brother: "Man, those are crisp!"
Me: sniffs bills "...Minty"
I guess it's my own fault for using the self service checkout lane.
I needed to run to Home Depot just a little while ago, and my eight year old son has been driving my wife insane, so he was sent with me. He asked a hundred questions about what tool does what and why I needed this or that. Despite my distracted supervision, he surely mixed up several loose nuts and bolts.
At the exit of the self checkout line, there's a massive gumball machine that holds massive gumballs. I rarely carry change, so he's out of luck.
Sonny Boy: Dad, can I have a quarter?
Me (checking out): Nope. Don't have one.
Sonny Boy: You don't have any cents?
Me: If I had any cents, I'd have left you at home tonight.
No, he didn't get it, and I'm shocked he set it up so well by saying cents. But, the dude in the line next to me let out a solid guffaw. We made the satisfying, knowing eye contact of two dad joke aficionados. I'm glad someone else heard it.
He'll be doing the self checkout.
We were discussing a problem encountered with self-checkout machines at supermarkets. When buying lemons, you could buy 1 lemon, or 3 lemons. Not 2, because for some reason the machine won't recognise it.
Dad says "Well that makes sense, because if you buy 2 lemons then it's a pear; and they'll be a different price!"
I simultaneously laughed and facepalmed.
The self-checkout!
My girlfriend, her parents and I were shopping for a dresser, but since its IKEA we got more, we ended up getting cups and also a lamp. The lamp set we got was called "NOT". There was an issue with the self checkout so the cashier had to come help us. As we were finishing up, the cashier told us she needed to open up the lamp box and was making sure there was everything inside. I asked her what would happen if it was NOT. She laughed, my girlfriend groaned and walked away, and her parents laughed.
Background: my friend and I had been trying on sunglasses for a trip we're going on and were going to checkout at the store...
Him: "I wish there were some form of self-checkout here"
Me: "Well... There were some mirrors back there by the sunglasses"
He was not amused.
