Weirfan if I see some geezer 75 plus in a line I will try to avoid getting behind.
I resemble that remark since I turned 75 yesterday. It isn't just a u-scan issue. I was at Krogers recently in the normal checkout line with clerk. An old blue hair had one of the mini buggies with minimal products so I got in line. She had maybe 10 items and a bag with 6 seedless grapes. 6 fucking grapes. They were sold by the pound and were too light to weigh in. It took them 5 minutes to figure out what to do. The clerk finally asked her if $.25 was ok. The biggest issue these days is not enough help at the grocery and the checkout lines get backed up so people who don't have a clue how to u-scan take a whole cart full of groceries and try to self check out which backs up the u-scans as well.
My fav recent event was when I went through u-scan at Krogers. I only had a few things but I did have some beer which triggered age verification. A young clerk came up and tapped in her code and instead of asking me "date of birth" she asks, "Can you remember your birthday?" I gave it to her and got so tickled I started to laugh. She gives me a look like "this old loon is giddy because he remembered his birthday." 🤣
