Self-check yourself before you wreck yourself … out
Ah, the self-checkout. Always a blessing. Who wants to talk to people when they can pay for their groceries in peace, without having any human interaction whatsoever? But we must say, this tweet is quite assumptive. Not all boomers are nincompoops, Twitter user! Maybe they’ve cracked the grocery shopping code.
Perhaps they’ve decided to forgo mindless chatter with the droll cashier for greener self-checkout pastures. Or maybe they’ve noticed how long the rest of the lanes are and they’re in a hurry to leave. Now, if only the robot lady would stop yelling at them to take their receipt. The complaint here, however, is not that they use the self-checkout, but that most of the time, they don’t actually know how to use it.
