Checking Out

Random rant of the day: Supermarket checkouts
  1. Why is it that whichever queue I choose, it's always the wrong one. I get the person with a duff credit card, or whose items won't scan, or who stops for a nice chat with the cashier, or who didn't buy enough to use a whole Retward voucher and disappears back into the store for a couple of minutes to find something else (I kid you not).
  2. I'm entirely capable of packing my own bags. No, really. When did this go from "I'm just here to scan items." to "Can I help you pack, sir?" to "I'm going to pack whether you like it or not!"? I wouldn't mind so much if they weren't so completely hopeless at it - large multipacks of fruit juce which have their own carrying handles go into bags regardless, often accompanied by a couple of heavy bottles - while the few remaining (light) items half-fill a second bag.
  3. The "Ten Items or Less" checkout:
