    I hate those things so much, buying a red bull, red light and wait for someone to arrive to check that I’m over 16. It happened to me so many times and normally I like technology, but those things, no thank you.

      It’s not the tech, it’s the implementation. I absolutely hate most of them, one in particular needs you to scan the item then place it in an area to check weight otherwise it barks at you and freezes you out until they come to check. The amount of times it doesn’t work right makes it the most frustrating system I ever used and actively avoid it but normally can’t since they almost never have a cashier.

      I hate the place even more than i did and now try to plan to do the 20 minute drive to a place that doesn’t do this. Good job!
