I see this all the time. People put their purses on the bagging area or lean against it or they'll remove stuff before they're done. Then when the machine tells them something is wrong, they freak out and think its broken, instead of moving their purse or hitting the "I don't want to bag this item" button.
Not saying this is your problem, but most people's problem is that they just don't pay any attention.
- recursive 15y agoHow does putting one's purse in the bagging area indicate a lack of attention? It's fully likely that I'm not using the machines correctly, but I didn't exactly go through a training course. I just use them as I'd expect them to work, because that's about all I have to go on.
- jdeibele 15y agoAt the stores I use, the bagging area has scales that total up your items to avoid people sneaking stuff out without paying for it. When my son would lean on that area it would prompt me to "remove item". So putting your purse there indicates a lack of attention.
- recursive 15y agoI wasn't there when they installed the scales. I didn't go through a training session where they explained the scales. If, for some reason, I could reasonably been expected to know about the scales, I might agree. But I do not. It's like saying you don't know how to speak fluent Italian because you don't pay attention. There was no expressed expectation that you were supposed to learn Italian.
