Yeah except the exact change, coupon hounds and just generally dim folks tie those up too. And it’s a 4:1 fuck up.

I was in Home Depot and some donut was trying to buy a grill he wheeled in from the display outside through self checkout. The. Demanded to not have a floor model. Tied up the cashier for a hot minute. Meanwhile another old lady started flagging down some rando to help with a coupon that I’m fairly sure was fucking years expired. And some third poor soul had a legit problem but was in donut purgatory for a bit.

The checkout line guy was literally faster. But I wasn’t in a hurry and was just enjoying the show and letting others cut and go through the non self checkout. It was fucking mesmerizing.
