Ahh Walmart...

So I thought I'd start off with my least favorite grocery store.

Walmart

Okay, I know that Walmart is the largest grocery store company. Therefore, I cut them some slack.

I won't complain about their dirty bathrooms.

I won't rant about their abundance of insects inside the stores.

Lastly, I won't spout my annoyance at their weird store layouts.

HOWEVER

I feel like there is something to be done about their self-checkout machines.

The self-checkout lanes are mainly if one is in a hurry, has ten items or less, and just really doesn't want to deal with people. These machines are supposed to make the shopping experience LESS painful.

They do a horrible job at that.

The first thing that annoys me about these machines is their apparent inability to sense whether or not the item I just scanned has been bagged. I'll scan my family-sized bag of Doritos, and then proceed to put them in a bag with my Pop-Tarts and granola bars. However, I am unable to scan my next item because the machine is telling me

THIS ITEM HAS NOT BEEN BAGGED.

DO YOU WANT TO BAG THIS ITEM?PLEASE BAG YOUR ITEM.ITEM NOT BAGGED.

DEAR COMPUTER; I BAGGED MY DORITOS

THEY ARE RIGHT THERE

HOW DUMB ARE YOU?!

Also, when the machine asks you to scan your club card for the fiftieth time. . .

-_____-

I ALREADY SCANNED MY CLUB CARD!

This is something Walmart can fix, since it only seems to happen at Walmart.

I get that they cannot control their employees' terrible character.

BUT THEY CAN CONTROL THEIR DUMB MACHINES.

My shopping life would be about ten times less painful if Walmart could address this problem.

So, Dear Walmart Executives; FIX. YOUR. SELF-CHEKOUT LANES.

Ranting Always,
