A put me on a register (in the middle of a rush) that someone hadn't signed off of yet. It is possible to clear it on the register, but if the podium is trying to do the same thing...
Customer actually reaches over and swipes their paper across the scanner themselves, before I even got myself situated (and realize that I need to clear an existing sign-on). BEEP. Not happy. SM tells me how to clear a sign-on; I know A heard him, but she's trying to do the same thing from the podium--the register doesn't know which input it should be listening to, so rolls over with its keypad in the air and has to be rebooted. Somehow this is my fault (yeah, to the extent of these registers die if you look at them crooked).
------------------------
A customer with a self-scan gun waves their store card over the scanner before I can tell them to scan the "SCAN-IT SCAN HERE BEFORE SCANNING YOUR CARD" barcode with the gun first. Customer card inputs before the scan gun, which the register isn't happy about either. Bagger N waves A over, and before he can tell her to let me see how she clears it she does it (with a "that's not how we do scan-it orders"....if you bothered to listen to me I didn't scan the card!). I get taken off register after that.
-----------------------------
I'm wandering the front after A takes me off register, and a woman barks "milk of magnesia!" with a heavy accent. It takes me a split-second to process what she said and think of where the item is; I'm not that familiar with the non-grocery side of the store. Before I can answer she shoots off "I should ask someone else, you're just a bagger". D at the service desk is glaring daggers at her.

I come back at ten of noon and just start bagging. Nope, get on register and...two cartloads comes to an Express lane and I know they saw me turn the express light on (what's the point of 12 items or less if it's not actually enforced, and why isn't Express allowed to have baggers, isn't the point to get customers out quickly?)
