I tend to go both ways when it comes to self-checkout.
If I’m buying produce, there’s no way in hell that I’m trying to figure out that computer to look up the proper codes…
But if I just have items that can be scanned…I’m struttin’ into the self-checkout lanes with all kinds of confidence and acting like I own the place.
Self-checkout sure is a funny thing, isn’t it…
Let’s take a look at some hilarious tweets about this aspect of our lives that we all deal with. Enjoy!
1. That’s never a good thing.
Now what am I supposed to do?!?!
Using self-checkout lane so I don't have to interact with anyone.
Scans first item.

2. It’s infuriating, isn’t it?
Enough to drive a person crazy.
I'm just a girl, standing in front of a self-checkout, screaming that there's no unexpected item in the bagging area.

3. I’m on your side, guys.
Just so we’re clear about everything.
I always keep my cool when using self-checkout machines because I want them to vouch for me as an ally during the robot uprising

4. Avoid those things at all costs.
It’s never a pleasant experience.
me:
target self checkout cameras: you are ugly. you are nothing. you are the scum at the earth. look at you LMAOOOO. EYE SPY A BUM.

5. It’s a skill, alright.
How good are YOU?
you can tell how much someone hates people by how skilled they are at the self-checkout

6. What a little angel!
I hope you sneered at him. Or yelled.

7. Just this one thing, please.
That’s not too much to ask for.
All I want to do before I die is make it through the self-checkout one time without needing an employee to turn a key.

8. A little different back then.
Remember the good old days?

9. We’re glad they were able to help!
That’s one of the best things about self-checkout.

10. You are correct, sir.
This guy is smart: listen to him.
Grocery store self-checkout may put people out of work, but at least it's also awful & annoying for customers.

11. Are you talking about yourself again?
If so, you nailed it!
The cutest chick rang me up at the self-checkout today!

12. Vegan soy protein powder?
People must know about this!
But if I use the self checkout who will see all of the pretentious food I bought?

How do you feel about self-checkout?
Does it drive you nuts or do you love it because you don’t have to deal with anyone?
