So at local grocery chain called Stop & Shop up here in Fake England, their Self Service registers let the entirety of the tri-state area know every bit of what you are doing, especially when prompted to "FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PIN PAD."
But today I grabbed lunch at Shaw's. Now, it was five after twelve, so it was deserted aside from one person. Keep in mind, all of these self checkout stations have motion detectors to let it know someone is approaching, and then asks you to scan your first item. Well, due to the little square of about ten registers being empty, as I walked in (and stayed close to the right), nine of them simultaneously bellowed out, "Welcome. Please scan your first item." It was like I walked through the gates of Grocery hell and was immediately dealt the final boss, a complicated army of self checkout machines, which only could communicate via their programmed phrases but they knew you were about to not place an item in the bagging area and they were going to light you ablaze with their lasers.
