So, I have a nasty habit of giving cashiers a bit o’ change with my cash in order to avoid getting tons o ‘change back. You know, like giving them $20.25 when the bill is $10.16. It really doesn’t bother me that more often than not, they have to resort to letting the cash register figure out my change.

No. What bothers me is when I walk up to the line with three cans of the same kind of cat food.

And they scan … each … can.

Listen, I know about the whole inventory thing, and that if I get tuna, salmon, and turkey, they need to scan each one so they know when tuna runs low.

But if I walk up there with three cans of tuna (or three of anything), I expect them to either do the 3 x 59 cents, or at a minimum, hit repeat last item twice times. I don’t know if the fault is in the cashier or the cash register, but this bugs me.

I know…I need some real problems.
