Self Check-out

Okay, is this another money-savings strategy of grocery stores? Is it keeping my grocery bill down? I may call the manager of our local grocery store and ask these questions.

It was 10:45pm last night when I drove my grocery cart loaded full of $260.00 worth of groceries (Thanks to the grocery game I did not spend that amount of money!) when I notice there are no cashiers open, only the self-check out lanes. 20 minutes Later I am still swiping groceries. These are the phrases I'm hearing from the "machine": "Unexpected item, please remove from belt" (heard that about every other item), "Belt backed up, please bag groceries". I want to know, where is my paycheck? Where is the face-to-face service of years past? I was sweating and thirsty by the time I left, wondering if my groceries where any good yet. And, I still had to load them in our house and unbag them yet!

Sorry, just needed to vent!

Oh - I forgot to add that when I got to this store at 9:15pm I realized I forgot my grocery list (thankfully I had my coupons!) and this morning I discovered a box of frozen waffles in the trunk of my car!
