Or, if there was no self check out, the prices might be 10% higher

That would be an understatement.

Possibly the same person at Safe Ship Colony yesterday. Inside Safe Ship was full of customers, additionally there was a line of us waiting outside. Up walks a woman that steps in front of the line, opens the door and says, I just want to buy a postage paid envelope. Entitlement? No! I say it's rude, inconsiderate and bad manners.

Did anyone say "that's nice, but the place for that is at the end of the line"?

How about the man in the resident line at the Gilchrist gate who sat with a line forming behind him. I was next so I got out with my key card. I told him he could press the red button and the gate would open. He said he knew that but figured someone would help him instead. Drove off without saying thanks. It takes all kinds.

Having helped parents an in-laws through final stages of age related mental disabilities, I suggest taking a deep breath and showing a little patience/kindness. You never know what that individual may be going through. And you may be there sooner than later.

MrFlorida sounds like my friend. We went to Public on Sunday and employee said we could go to self checkout. My friend said that when Public starts paying her to ring up her order and bag it, she will go to self checkout. Another women overheard this, cheered her on and said she feels the same way. It made me laugh. My friend feels by refusing to use self checkout , she is helping save an employee's job.

Several days ago I had only a few items and everyone in the lines with cashiers had many items, but I stood in one. An employee saw me and directed me to the self help line and rang up my items for me. I thought that was very nice of him. One time my husband was in the hospital and wanted one item. I got this and got in the 10 and under line (Publix). The lady ahead of me had $100 worth of items. It took a long time to ring her up. When it was my turn, I asked the cashier why she was permitted in that line, and she said if they have started to unload on the conveyer, they take them.

Better get used to it when the $15.00 minimum wage goes into effect. There won't be cashiers anywhere.

That's okay with me if it will keep cashiers from losing their jobs. I can deal with it financially better than they could by going on unemployment.

I'm not quite sure what you are saying here? Just a joke. Right?
