Maybe they should be called self-scamming stations instead.

Had someone today who brought a torte up through one of my self checks... and he got 'pissy' when it rang up at $13.99, but the label he saw on it said $3.99... the trainer I was working with got called over to help, and she said, "If it scans at $13.99, that should be the right price..." he got angry about that, too, and went off to find another one/check the price. Meanwhile, trainer points out to me that the price tag on the torte was curled up, and was way too low for an item at a brand new store... guy comes back with another cake, and I just happen to be in the right place as he walks by, and I see the tag says $10.99...

I'm waiting for a story on some SC who interprets it as SELF-scan and then drops his pants and sits on the scanner, thinking his ass crack is a single-line bar code.

If his ass doesn't scan, it must mean it's free.

Free for what?

Free for all!

Yes, yes they are. That, or they're such EWs that they see a cashier 'just standing around' at the SCO station and demand we 'do something useful' and scan their items.

I was going on break, used the Self scan for my purchase and as I began to walk off a little old lady walks up behind me.

SC: Sirrrr! Get back her and ring me up!
Me: Ma'am this is a self scan, you scan & bag your self.
SC: Why! Are you lazy?
Me: That is what it is designed to do.
SC: Well, I will have a talk with a manger and see if that is true.

The Sc walks off and finds a regular lane. I asked the MOD about it and she did complain. The MOD had to show her that it was a self scan by making her watch regular customer walk up and use it.

Oh gods.

If anyone needs me, I'll be over in the corner curled up whimpering....

My company has handheld scanners in some of its stores (thankfully, NOT MINE). I can only fear for the experiences employees in those stores have.

Anytime that happens in my store, I do the same thing you do. If that doesn't work, I point to the sign hanging from the register number that says "Check-It: SELF CHECKOUT."

In that case, please be sure to post the video footage of that on YouTube after you do that, Sheldon. Inquiring minds DO want to know.

"U-Scan" mean?

Does it mean, "Do a U-Turn and walk away?"

I remember our U-Scans never ever ever ever worked
