They are easy to hook up, and they work very well. You should also advise your client to rent a badge scanner from their next trade show organizer. When the show is over you get a CD with all the contact information.

It's fine to have second thoughts about buying something if you see something is off about it but if it's a perishable then it should be given to the cashier right away so that they can have someone inspect it and then put it back if they feel it's okay.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353720027906152864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-60020330505822211892014-09-23T13:24:55.662-05:002014-09-23T13:24:55.662-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353720027906152864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-2248034759067549422014-09-23T13:21:02.575-05:002014-09-23T13:21:02.575-05:00I prefer the Self Checkout line as well.

It's quicker and most lines in my store are usually much longer plus people usually grocery shop there and buy a bunch of stuff which takes even more time. I do agree with the person's patience, I wouldn't be that patient, I'd just be leaving to find another line. Self Checkout is typically pretty easy to do but the scanning thing can malfunction at times.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353720027906152864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-49639012381177043722014-07-17T05:22:35.309-05:002014-07-17T05:22:35.309-05:00I don't understand this story. were you workin...I don't understand this story. were you working there, or were you a customer?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00977246316444746041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-72913828515982799852013-08-14T13:20:47.329-05:002013-08-14T13:20:47.329-05:00Until recently I worked at Sam's as one of the...Until recently I worked at Sam's as one of the sample people. I worked in customer service for about ten years (and often wanted to punch people in the throat). Every day at Sam's, EVERY. FUCKING. DAY, we'd have people asking us if the item we were sampling (or any other random item) came in smaller packages because, "I really don't need that much." I'd answer politely but I was always thinking, "You're in a bulk store, you moron. You PAY to shop there, and yet you remain shocked that you can only buy bulk items." Also, maybe it doesn't happen in Kansas, but in Michigan, I'd watch from my sample cart as people would trot up to self-checkout with two or three overflowing carts and spend a lifetime checking out their shit. I kept waiting for one of the exasperated people behind them to lose their mind...but it never happened.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15438632877749427750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-7466694261142075462013-04-09T14:30:36.684-05:002013-04-09T14:30:36.684-05:00oh my dear sweet baby jesus...i'm pretty sure ...oh my dear sweet baby jesus...i'm pretty sure that lady would have ended up with a fruit salad in her ass right around the bread-incident.

We were behind a lady with (and I'm not exaggerating here)25 cans of cat food plus some other items. Unlike the regular checkout, you can't just scan it once and type in the quantity so we had to stand there while she took her time finding the barcode on each and carefully placed them into bags. If I remember correctly, we were forced to wait because it was after hours and only the self-checkout was open.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.theycallmegypsyqueen.com" rel="nofollow">They Call Me Gypsy Queen</a><br />Gypshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15006109315757141707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-90311977149234166132013-04-04T13:31:34.708-05:002013-04-04T13:31:34.708-05:00Self-checkout is yet another area in life that sho...Self-checkout is yet another area in life that should require an IQ test before attempting.

On a Saturday, which I knew was a terrible idea, but it was when I had time. The lady in front of me was Asian, and she had bulk produce, and there are no barcodes on mangoes. And she couldn't read English, so she didn't know what button to push to get the list/photos of the fruit. I waited a couple minutes to see if she could figure it out, or if the incessant beeping would lead to an attendant helping, but no luck. I rang up her entire cart for her. Awesome. You're welcome. I told her that next time she should choose a lane with a person, but I'm pretty sure she had no idea what I was saying. zeeblinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00790802535140279382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-6390926911735618882013-04-03T07:45:09.077-05:002013-04-03T07:45:09.077-05:00Well said!

Our Walmart has thirty, count 'em...Amen, Mandy! Our Walmart has thirty, count 'em, THIRTY registers. Of those, THREE are staffed. And none of the cashiers can handle taking a Walmart gift card. <br />I spent over twenty minutes at the register (not in line, actually at the register) last week, trying to explain to the woman how to do this. <br />OK, I swipe the gift card. The card reader asks me if I want to make a payment with the card, or load money onto it. I press payment, then hand the card to the cashier so that she can scan it and press enter. <br />Nope. She wants to know the exact amount on the card instead of just running the stupid thing and telling me how much is left for me to pay. <br />OK... I dig out the receipt from the last time I used it, which I conveniently stashed in the same little pouch the gift card came in. There's $25.33 left on it. She punches this in, and adds $2.53 to my total.<br />When I point this out, she gets annoyed. She tries to void the gift card line, since she loaded funds instead of removing them. No luck. She calls a CSM over. The CSM doesn't know how to void that line either. She suggests cancelling the entire transaction and starting over. I only have a few items. Fine.<br />The cashier rings up my stuff, and then informs me that she's going to run the gift card on her side, since she knows how to do it that way.<br />Or not. She adds $25.33 to my total this time.<br />By this point, there's a line about six people deep behind me. I just want to pay for my Easter candy and go.<br />She starts voiding things line by line. Oh, no. No way am I waiting for her to individually void everything and then tell me she can't void the gift card line. Fortunately, here comes the CSM again. She cancels the transaction again, then runs the gift card...EXACTLY the way I've been telling the cashier to do it since the very beginning.<br />I'm fairly sure my eyeballs were bleeding from the sheer, overwhelming incompetence by the time I left the store...Moira Incendiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08997240190076383172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984487997306130330.post-18351743875392037482013-04-01T22:45:29.262-05:002013-04-01T22:45:29.262-05:00Self Check Out no longer exists at any stores in m...Self Check Out no longer exists at any stores in my hometown except for Home Depot and that's more like mostly assisted check out.
