Do You Use The U-scan Checkouts?

[Cinder & Smoke]

I use the U-Scan lanes - 'cause if you play the Woe-is-Me look just right,
the U-Scan "tender girl" almost always trotts over to "help" any male shoppers that aren't accopmanied by a female - we must have a reputation for "screwing it up".

Look "confused" for 2 seconds, and she's THERE!
And if you really don't need help punching buttons or tossin fruit, she starts
doing the Bag Lady thing at the end of the conveyor ... by the time I've paid,
she's got the order Bagged and back in the buggy!

Home Depot is the same way - the "Floater Girl" scans the approaching crowd for "Olde Pharts" who look "modern stuff challenged" and then loiter close by.

Last time I Home Depot'd I only had a couple small items and I *beeped* & *booped*
through the little "express line" quick as a flash. She dashed up all breathless and
blurted out "Here, SIR, let me help you!"
"With WHAT" I asked?
"I'll be glad to help you check out, SIR."

"Sorry, but I'm *DONE*! ... Wanna see my slip?"
She looked *crushed* ... Sorry I ruined her evening.

She looked *crushed* ... Sorry I ruined her evening.

The last place in the U.S. where you get customer service.

At Home Depot they are a blessing.

You are guaranteed that no one will hold up the line asking the cashier for Home Improvement tips!

I have used them, but geeze, I am not lucky. I am the one who has the buzzer go off and that dumb look on my face. I try, but often run in to a problem. They should use me as the test customer. I think children would be better at it than yours truly.

So, yes, I use them, but seldom, in the scheme of things.
