Pop used a self-checkout for the first time Friday at the grocery store, purchasing one cabbage.
The transaction took nine minutes. The machine reported an “unexpected item in the bagging area” twice, which Pop said was “the cabbage, which I told it about.”
A staff member came over once. Pop waved her away. “I've got it,” he said, and then, eventually, he did.
Asked whether he would use the self-checkout again, Pop said, “No,” and that “it's taking somebody's job, and it isn't even good at it.”
