One of our self-checkouts was malfunctioning again yesterday. At one point the Head Cashier finally just shut it down completely.
Along comes a customer and starts waving an item at ... the blank BLACK screen.
Me: "Sir? SIR? That one's not working."
He comes to the second machine, which IS working.
Literally not a minute later, here comes a second guy and starts waving an item at ... the blank BLACK screen.
I looked over at the Head Cashier who was watching this and we both rolled our eyes so hard we could see our respective brain-pans.
I was finding it hard not to laugh as I called out "Sir? SIR? That machine's not working ..."
I'm guessing they were thinking in terms of a computer: "Oh, it's gone to sleep; here, this should wake it up ..."
Neither customer was sucky but I wasn't sure where to put this.
