What about Adam’s or Sliwa? Cuomo thinks less of the democratic candidate than he does of republican candidate or the guy who’s gotten caught taking bribes and is now a trump suck-up to avoid being prosecuted.

“Wants another legal bribe”

Yeah, people don’t snap out of a cult just because the leader has been tied to (and likely is) a pedophile. I haven’t believed those “outrage” articles for a second.

Ah yeah, both good points. The bagging areas are always too small and badly positioned.

“Flagged for redaction”

Yeah, that’s my point; I’m never going to memorize those, so I’ll never be as fast as a cashier.

They may have a search by name, but by the time I hit the produce button, then the search by name button and start keying in the name, a cashier could have rung up two things.

For OTC it happened the other day, just to buy NyQuil at cvs.

Oh, I guess our produce checkout system is different; that definitely seems like more of a 1:1. For the grocery stores in my area, we just bag up what we want and the cashier puts in the code and weighs it up at checkout time. It’s much faster for them to do it since they usually have the codes memorized or at least know where it is on their cheat sheet.

You must not buy a lot of produce, gift cards or otc medicine; the self checkout is slower every time I have to buy any of these things and it’s given some companies (cvs, Walgreens) a reason to make their employees who would otherwise be working the register do other things and leave the front of the store almost completely unstaffed every time I go in there. Now I have to use a self checkout to buy something I know they need a person there for and then stand around like an idiot waiting for the cashier to come and assist.

If it’s a grocery store and I have even a moderate amount of produce, I don’t have the codes memorized and there’s no bar codes on it, so I have to find everything I’m buying on their checkout machine. Something else inevitably doesn’t scan or the bagging area detector freaks out about something and then I have to completely stop what I’m doing and wait for an employee to come and scan their card.

It has made it a lot easier to steal things though and with the terrible experience that comes with these things, I’m not far from doing.

This sucks to see. Hopefully he’ll get picked up somewhere else and go back to a format closer to what the Colbert report used to be.

It can be both, but he’s been stupid for a long time.
