Job: cashier

Item doesn’t scan

Customer: “That means it’s free, right?”

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I’ve heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

    Even as an iPhone guy, I’ll say that their consumer electronics are just fine. Very good, even.

    But their appliances are crap. Apparently, they used to be quite good, but once they got a bug up their ass about sticking a bonkers amount of tech into them, they started cutting costs on build quality, so they just don’t last more than a few years before parts start crapping out.

    Companies like LG and GE are much better at balancing tech, quality, reliability, and price points.

      I can’t stand “fancy” electronic appliances. I hate all the musical beeping and half the time the panels don’t even recognize my finger taps. It makes doing chores more frustrating than it already is.

      We recently bought a fixer-upper and have had to replace a bunch of old appliances. I told my husband the simpler/cheaper the appliance is, the better. Knobs over digital displays.

      The only time I like the newer digital versions is with microwave ovens.
