    I use the heck out of mine. I bought a kit that was like $30 at Menards. They're handy for building all sorts of things.

    Self checkout -- hate the thing.

    My Kroger grocery store is one of the last to have more check outs than self checkouts. They are also the only one that I know of that has baggers. Most of the baggers are learning disabilities persons. They always remember us and always thank us for using the check out isles.

    I like self checkouts. Keeps me from having to make conversation with the cashier.

    Had 2 idiots the other day infront of me...2 open checkouts...they are just looking at them...i was just about to say something then they figured out no one was going to tell them a checkout was open then they finally moved up. One took her sweet time, the other locked up the checkout with some item that had no bar code. Both were together.

    Its like they never used a debit card, or cash....ever. :goingcrazy::goingcrazy::facepalm::facepalm::frusty::frusty:

    This is my go to when there are no self checkouts. I either go for the prettiest cashier, or a dude my age.
    I might have walked in front of them and played the "me dumb man" card.

    As long as we are shopping::rant:

    My pet peeve is people who manage block the entire aisle, generally two of them obliviously lumbering along feeling no need to hurry. :( However I suppose being oblivious doesn't necessarily equate to the intent of being rude.

    BUT, why when they come to a larger aisle do they feel the need to spread out and fill up the new larger space -- blocking anyone who actually has something to do with their day from passing... :annoyed::annoyed::annoyed:

    Thank you for your indulgence, I'll sleep better tonight. ;)

    OOPs I thought grocery Shopping was a timed event so I always try and beat my own times.

    People have learned to stay out of my way.

    The store managers have learned to not put up displays on blind corners really amazing how far things can fly with a solid hit.
