I know there are a lot of SCO horror stories on here. Typically, I do not encounter these in my SCO experiences. Today really made up for it, though.
I went to check-out and waited for an SCO to open up. Out of the four machines, two had their lights flashing for assistance, and a lady at a third was trying to scan the little sticker on an apple (needless to say, that was not working out well at all...I don't think some of those even have barcodes, and if they did, I don't think the SCO can read them). The attendant was heading towards the apple-scanning lady to help her. Meanwhile, one of the flashing light SCOs managed to self-correct, the guys paid and left, and I was able to check-out.
It wasn't over, though. I paid, and just as I was reaching for my receipt (my stuff was still in the bagging area), a couple of gals came up right next to me and tried to scan their stuff. The machine beeped and said "Please wait for attendant" as the light began to flash. The girl frowned and kept waving her item over the scanner again and again. I rolled my eyes, picked up my stuff, and fled as quickly from the stupid as I could.
