Thanks to simbosan for the idea

Supermarket self-checkout robot voices.
"Please put the item in the bag"
"Please put the item in the bag"
"Please put the item in the bag"
"Please put the item back in the bag"
"Please put the item in the bag"
"Please scan barcode on your item"
"Please put the item in the bag"
"Please put the item in the bag"
"Please wait for assistance"

Do you scan everything that goes through....Go on be honest.

I think you have to
If you scan a tin of beans and put something else into the bag with it, it knows the weight.

You just get told to
"please put the item in the bag" until you do so / cry / bleed.

And I always think it'll be quicker. I hate those machines with a vengeance.

You forgot "Unexpected item in the bagging area"
This usually sends me over the edge

Aiiiiiiiii!
How could I forget?

Also "Please take your change". I'm still plucking my receipt out of the machine! Just fucking wait for two seconds!!

Especially
when the 'unexpected item' you've put in the bagging area is A FUCKING BAG. As items in bagging areas go, I'd have thought that would've been one of the least unexpected.

I feel angry just reading that post.

Fuck yeah!
Morrisons is the worst. I've literally (not) pulled my hair out waiting for a vacant numpty to come and sort the fucker out. I'd rather queue for ten minutes than deal with one of those again.

Voices
Why the flying fuck they all have to use exactly the same voice I will never understand. My old mac had a dozen to choose from, and that was in 1995! Queueing up and listening to a dozen identical smarmy robobitch clones nagging frayed shoppers into compliance is enough to make me violate the verbal morality statue.

Haha
'smarmy robobitch clones' :D
