Local Man Blames Steven Spielberg After Self-Checkout Machine Asks for Donation — 'This Is Common Sense, Not Jurassic Park'
A furious local man is demanding answers after a routine trip to the grocery store turned into a heated confrontation with a self-checkout kiosk. 'I bagged my own items, I scanned my own junk, and then that soulless screen asks me for a donation to a kids' hospital? That's not my job! Common sense says the corporation should donate, not guilt-trip me,' he ranted. 'I half expected Steven Spielberg to pop out and say 'Close Encounters' of the checkout kind. I'm not funding a feel-good movie with my milk money.' Store management declined comment, but the man says he'll be using cash from now on ‘like a sane person.’
