At the self-checkout.
When you have produce or whatever, either you enter the 4-digit code or you search by name and find it.
So I'm searching... w-h-i-t-
"bgjfkfbtjf" I hear thru my headphones. 👂
"wat?"
"It's 4836... the code for your onion is 4836."
Oh.. well what, do you want me to X out of this and go back to the beginning and look for where I enter the code? At this point the picture of the white onion is like 1 keystroke away. You aren't helping.
This exact thing has happened to me twice in the past few days lol.
It's nice that they want to be helpful. I appreciate it. Just, there are levels to it.
If I'm like 1.5 seconds away from clicking the button, stopping me to tell me the number doesn't help me.
If I have a bunch of produce you can spit the numbers out as we go, but you don't need to stop me en coitus like that. I don't need the code.
I have a pet peeve related to self checkout of produce as well. At the store I frequent, every time you click on the button to enter a produce code, first it pops up a message saying something along the lines of "Did you know that you can save time by scanning the bar code on your produce item?" and you have to click a button to get out of the pop up. Every time. Most of the produce items in the store do not have a bar code at all, and half the bar codes don't have a price associated with them. And in the mean time the store has introduced an entirely unnecessary screen that has to load and then be clicked out of before I can just enter the damn code LOL
Omg!!!! I've run into that too! Agree 100%!! I thought the same thing when it happened, like dang, get outa here with that screen.
I bet maybe they like jamming that down your throat, because they want to reduce people ringing stuff in wrong. But don't pretend it's about saving me time! Get a barcode on all the items, and I'll learn that I can scan them. lol
You're a man of my heart, Carl 😃😆
fun to see you stop by! hope you're doing well.
I actually forgot the worst part of my pet peeve LOL At this store, if you scan a barcode and it is not in the system it triggers an override needed that the self-checkout attendant has to come dismiss! I shit you not. If you follow their stupid instructions to scan the produce barcodes, you will have that happen multiple times LOL Maybe they just want me to be like a normal person and not buy a lot of different kinds of produce every time I shop :)
