About 20 minutes to closing last night, I'm on the only manned register; the only other thing open is SCO. I'm wiping down my area when the SCO attendant (L) comes over with a few products in her hand, trailed by a grumpypants SC. Attendant asks me to ring up SC's items; I assume that there was an SCO problem as three of the four were blinking for "assistance needed". Maybe SC's grumpy vibes just kill any technology he tries to use.
As I take the items from the attendant and start to scan, SC flips out. "OMG nonononoooooo! Keep your food! He touched my food! I use self checkout because I don't want anyone else touching my food now his germs are on my food argleblargeeleventyoneone1111!!!!" (all SC's items were prepackaged, and not only was I wearing gloves I had used sanitizer just before handling his groceries) SC angrily picks up a pack of Twinkies, then notices a manager watching him, throws it down on the floor and stomps out with the CDH staring after him with a "WTF is this dude's glitch?" look on his face.
Me: "WTF was that about? He saw me use sanitizer before you handed me his shit."
L: "If he's so paranoid about other people touching his food, why the hell did he let me touch it to bring it to you?"
Manager: "Was there anything wrong with SCO that he couldn't use it?"
L: "Not really. He was trying to scan a keychain store card and the scanner picked up a different one; each time that happened he hopped to another register rather than let me clear it and I didn't have to touch anything to do that."
CDH comes over. "Did that guy just call you 'he'?"
Me: "Yes he did; to be honest I've been called 'he' so often I don't care about that anymore. I'm just glad he didn't actually decide to throw those Twinkies."
