Pink Tuesday trying to scan her Shopping at T*sc*s

More about Pink Tuesday trying to scan her Shopping at T*sc*s

Two days before Xmas, Pink Tuesday does her las t xmas shopping, at a large local supermarket. As always, she uses the personal self-scanning checkout machine rather than the human-staffed checkout queues. As has happened before, the scanner refuses to respond to the second of two identical item (this time it was Chicken Burgers, I forget what it was last time it happened). Anyway, usually Pink Tuedsay would then pick up all the shopping and rescan it at another machine, but being Xmas[-2] today, they were all in use. So Pink Tuesday presses the ASSISTANT button. "We're busy" was the obvious response from the overseer. Pink Tuesday tells the overseer "This machine chose not to scan this item". So the overseer scans it after pressing the STAFF button. Pink Tuesday asks politely "Why didn't it work when I did it?" Overseer responds "I don't know". Pink Tuesday decides Never to use thos machines again, and queue at the humanned checkout queues instead. Only last week she had a similar problem at Shooes the chemists. SO MUCH FOR (New?) LABOUR SAVING AI EXPERIMENTS.
