dealing with the cashiers is way worse. there’s one in particular now I have to avoid because he’ll ask how I’m doing but then actually tell me how he’s doing. last time it was “slowly withering away”.

buddy do you see the type of food and quantity of booze here? your preaching to the choir.

we don’t have those grocery store-roving robots around here

if I ever see one, I think I would have any to use some string or a cheap bicycle lock to
tether it to some shelves or w/e the robot equivalent of stuffing one in a locker is

the grocery store by my old job had a cashier that had cool "GAME" "OVER" earrings on all the time and i liked to say hello to her. it's good to be friendly in your community. sometimes its some guy asking you about the fruit he can't name and if it's any good. its nice

I theoretically prefer self checkouts to dealing with a human being but a lot of the self checkout machines are pretty bad and in stores that only have a couple sometimes the lines end up taking longer because people are so bad at them.

Even knowing it was a mistake just the image of someone swiping a card, having it decline, and then leaving with the goods is really loving funny

lol so on the weekend I had to buy some stuff from hardware store and it came to about $140 and I was using my partners card and this particular checkout doesn’t weigh stuff like a supermarket because idk it’s a hardware store. so scanned card and then came home

and later on she asked me if I used her card or mine because she couldn’t see the transaction on her bank app so I checked mine and wasn’t there either so I went to look at the receipt to see if I could glean a clue as to what card was used and I read the receipt and see the line “declined”..

lol she’d given me the wrong card, a card with no money on it, and I just scanned and left with the goods for free


as far as I am concerned, the big australian owned hardware place didn’t do their job of making sure I paid so it’s their fault I got the stuff for free

lidl's and leclerc's have barriers installed that only recede if you scan your receipt's bar code

the scanner sucks rear end

so does the butcher next door to me.

the solution is clear, you should live in a place that has a good butcher shop next door

there’s been a good butcher and aged beef place close to us for several years - in the last 9 months or so there have been two places open on the same street that offer the same thing

I remember ages ago reading a study that in dense cities similar stores tend to clump together for valid reasons, but how much aged beef can one small neighborhood need?
