People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

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.

I mean... thats because the cashier memorizes the codes because they do it hundreds of times in a single day. You could do it equally as fast too if you knew the codes too.

Ah yes, stuff like nyquil is ussually age restricted...

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

Eh. Thats only a minor issue imo. The real issue is they provide no room to take items from the cart, scan and bag it and keep it in the bagging area. After 2 bags, the area is full. Why dont they have carts stationed there so you just transfer from one cart to the other?

Another issue I have is the machine scans a barcode that is not a 'product' barcode and you cant clear it yourself. You need an attendant to clear it. Thats very annoying.

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