    Tempest in a teapot.

    Did they call someone over when they saw the discrepancy? Because, you know, mistakes happen.

    I frequently have something not scan, or not come up right. There’s a button for help, there’s always someone right there anyway, hell, had a clerk walk up and help when he noticed I hit the wrong button. They pay attention.

    “I was annoyed”… That a system misreported something? If I was annoyed every time that happened I’d never not be annoyed.

    What’s with this sudden “self checkout rage bait” this week? Who’s pushing what agenda?

      Not in software. The software is doing exactly what it was programmed to do.
