I went to the grocery store today and got trapped in a self-checkout lane.

Apparently, I'm now expected to be the cashier, bagger, inventory clerk, loss-prevention officer, and technical support department.

The machine kept yelling:

"Please place item in bagging area."

It's in the bagging area.

"Unexpected item in bagging area."

Well, now it's expected because we've both seen it.

Then a teenager had to come over and swipe a magic card to approve my purchase of cold medicine like he was launching a nuclear submarine.

At this point, I feel like I should get an employee discount.

Next week, they're probably going to hand me a pallet jack and ask me to unload the truck before I buy my bread.
