Job: cashier

Item doesn't scan

Customer: "That means it's free, right?"

Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I've heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

See counterargument tho I've had multiple cashiers try to scan a thing that wasn't in the system and just throw it in my cart so it DOES happen. Lmao

What I do is find a similar item that costs less and use that for that item.

Just charge them for bananas. 4011. Everything is bananas if it doesn't scan.

Whenever you raise a problem with a process or setup the general answer is "It is what it is". No! Your laziness can jump, you can fix the damn problem you are not going to get away with inaction with a platitude.

People asking me if I've tried turning it off and then turning back on again, sometimes while seeming to imply next I should try reversing the polarity, inserting blinker fluid into it, and giving it a good talk like it's a homegrown tomato or something.

In Australia, if it scans higher than the price on the shelf, it is free.
