Asked her if she realized she was in the self checkout line since she had not attempted to scan any items yet. It is fairly obvious by the lack of cashiers, but you never know.

"Yes, I know, but they will do it for you if you tell them to."

One of the workers came over and asked her what problem she was having.

"I need you to check this stuff out for me."

Employee just looked at her then looked at me. I shrugged my shoulders or rolled my eyes and made some comment about being entitled. The employee proceeded to scan and bag the groceries.

Is this a thing around here??? If the lines for the cashiers are all full is it normal to go to the self checkout and demand someone scan your items for you?
Ahhh well, you can't fix STUPID! I never go to self checkout. I'd like to think I'm helping keep the employees employed. Given more self checkouts means less people employed.
