Local Man in Bakersfield Spends 6 Hours Arguing With a Self-Checkout Machine, Machine Wins (AITA for Laughing at the Security Guard Who Got Called In?)
Some dude in Bakersfield literally had a meltdown at a CVS because the self-checkout asked him to "place item in bagging area" when the bag was already full. Like, my guy, you’re not a software engineer, you’re just holding a Gatorade and a bag of chips. The machine called a code, a security guard showed up to stare at a receipt for 15 minutes, and now the guy’s on Nextdoor claiming the store "gaslit" him. TL;DR: The future is here and it’s just a cashier with a 200 IQ and zero patience.
