Claudia: We’re done, right? Let’s get in this Cashier line.
Raul: No need. This store has Self-checkout machines.
Claudia: I don’t know. I think it would be easier going through a cashier line.
Raul: Using the self-checkout will be much quicker. Let me show you. All you have to do is Scan the Barcodes on each Grocery item.
Claudia: There are no barcodes on fruits and vegetables.
Raul: All you have to do is put them on the Scale and find the product on the Touch-screen.
Claudia: You look. I’ll start Bagging.
Raul: Wait! You’re supposed to wait until everything is scanned before removing items from the Bagging area to put in bags. Oh no, now there’s a “see Attendant” message on the screen.
Claudia: What do we do now?
Raul: We wait for the attendant To clear the error and Void the transaction. Then we start again.
Claudia: Great. You’re right. This is much faster.
Raul: It is if you know what you’re doing.
Claudia: I’ll tell you what. I’ll take half of our groceries and stand in line and you use the self-checkout. We’ll see which is faster.
Raul: That’s a Sucker bet. I have no doubt that I’ll be done before you are.
Claudia: I’m not worried. The last one out the door makes dinner.
Raul: You’re on. Just remember that I like my steak Well done.
