What IS the deal with self-checkout? It’s supposed to be faster, right? You scan your items, bag them, you’re on your way. But then, ‘UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA!’ I didn’t *expect* an unexpected item, it’s MY unexpected item! Then a red light flashes, an alarm blares, and suddenly you’re standing there, looking guilty, waiting for a bewildered employee to come over and clear the phantom baguette from the weighing scale. I’m doing their job for them, and they’re accusing me of grocery larceny. What kind of system is this?!
