i don't understand.... what does any of this mean?

>ringing up more expensive fruit as cheaper fruit at self checkout
>ATTENDANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED TO ASSIST YOU

Apparently they can't operate a self checkout and have severe social phobias.

>queue of 4 people at till
>only have an energy drink and a chocolate bar
>go to self-checkout
>ASSISTANCE IS REQUIRED
>no employees show up and I have to wait until the four people at the checkout are done

Those things are suppose to be dummy proof, but a couple times Ive had it do that shit right in the middle of me scanning shit, also once I was buying a toothbrush and the scale didnt register that I had put it on the bagging side since it weighs next to nothing...so to try to avoid human contact I tried pushing down slightly on the scale. Apparently i didnt do it right and the girl comes over and sees what im attempting to do and giggles a bit, puts in her code and I pay and leave.
I just didnt want to talk to anyone at walmart! I feel ashamed for shopping here!

every fucking time, I don't bother with more than like 3 items now. The store has a bad problem of people fucking most of them up, those weights on the bag sensors are pretty damn sensitive and people overload their shit and I've seen kids hanging off them and everything, seriously fucked them up

Self checkout machines call for the attendant for seemingly no fucking reason all the time, which stops your checkout until said attendant shows up and clears the error.

>bring reusable shopping bags because the store nags you to use them instead of plastic
>try to put your purchases into them on the machine
>ASSISTANCE IS REQUIRED
>5min later someone shows up to clear the error
>scan something else
>ASSISTANCE IS REQUIRED
>turns out the scale under the machine just doesn't agree with the heavier reusable bags THE STORE GUILTED YOU INTO USING and keeps calling for the attendant

It's actually easier and faster to go through a regular checkout most of the time. At least the human there knows what a reusable bag is.

Also that feel when youre buying lube and condoms and hope to god it doesnt happen. *beep* ok now the condoms...*beep*.....fuck yeah ok now just swipe my card really fast, wait to grab the recipt and crumple it up in my hand as Im walking away, aaaand bingo.

One day its gonna happen. ATTENDANT HAS BEEN NOTIFIED TO ASSIST YOU.
Oh lord please no oh fuck oh god help me. Honestly I probably still wouldnt retreat, just stand there like a boss, they wont make eye contact.

>at self check-out
>start checking out in spanish
>I don't understand spanish
>fuck something up
>can't figure it out
>cashier resets it
>select spanish again

Condoms come in magnetic boxes, a staff member is going to have to come over and open it anyway.

Maybe in your shitty town.

Ive seen this at drug storesz but I get my condoms from walmart, friend so I dont have to talk to anyone. You can just pick it up off the shelf, not even a security strip.
I also live in a mostly white area.

>>4975475

Y'all not fags buying condoms.

I get these all the time, but the attendants never show up. One time I actually screwed up two different self-checkouts in a row, and had to keep jumping to another one to start again, but no one ever came to help me.

>Buy salsa that's on sale
>Ring it up
>Displays full price
>Call for assistance
>Mighty whale waddles over
>Tell him the issue
>He waddles to the phone to call and see what the price is
>They claim it's full price
>Tell him I'll happily lead him to the aisle and show him the sale tag
>He just angrily gives it to me for free instead of walking down the aisle nearby
>While driving home, I realize the salsa that was on sale was on the shelf below, not the one I grabbed
