It's a late night, and what better place to get a snack than a dingy corner store with a teenage attendant. But what's this? A self-checkout? We must live in the future! Surely absolutely nothing will possibly go wrong with this new fangled wonder technology...

This is exactly how I imagined Soldier's first self checkout went.

Me: So how's your shopping, Soldier? *This Video* Soldier: It's been long, busy, and a long day.

[@christopherm4739]

I think my favorite part of this video is how Soldier is red faced ANGRY at Scout when he is gesturing to the Diet Soda, as if asking "ID FOR WHAT!? SODA!?" but when scout reveals the law stating Diet Soda....*...shouldn't be sold and yet you can still buy it with an ID?*....he just goes "Oh, here you go then" instead.

[@MarioMasterK]

fun fact, the self checkout says these: "Give me your spine" "D I E N O W" "No thank you!" "This video took over..." "...over 100 hours to make" (impressive!) "You should sub lol."

What’s even funnier is apparently Soldier isn’t even supposed to be able to buy it, since the sign reads “Anyone born on or before today’s date in 1947 MAY NOT buy or consume diet soda” which according to his ID, soldier was born in 1940.

as a person who works in retail, self-checkout machines actually suck. too many people dont bother learning how they work and if its explained to them they forget before they come back to buy more things

[@EasyMoney322]

I'd love to use self-checkout, if not for the fact that they often require personal to confirm your age, so you wait longer than you would if you just did it the old way. Also you cant pay with cash.

[@staryoshi06]

@@EasyMoney322 There are self-checkouts that accept cash payments.

[@rodneybuckentime4838]

@@EasyMoney322 some self-checkout machines do let you pay with cash, the slot for it is usually just way far outta the way. and regardless of going to a normal lane or a self-checkout, your ID still needs to get manually checked most of the time when buying alcohol or smokes.

[@samuellasky7771]

Self-checkout machines taught me to respect cashiers more, because it made me realize that the checkout machine is really not so easy to operate

[@staryoshi06]

@@samuellasky7771 I mean, most of the errors that occur with self-checkouts are safeguards to prevent customers from stealing or doing something malicious. Cashier POS machines don't have these safeguards, and a good modern POS can be really efficient and fast with a skilled operator.
