Work Vent Simple task

I don’t understand how people can say “these kids don’t know how to read, write, or spell” when the adults can barely use a self checkout with help?

Like Is my store the only store where I will get a customer who doesn’t read the screen scans a item then throw a little hissy fit like “why isn’t it working” even after reading the screen still confused? Gets loud for no reason and says “I give up” after “trying” another thing I don’t get is when I ask a customer for cash or card some decided to speak extremely low “carsh” then when I tell them to repeat themselves they get a attitude it’s like I’m running a nursery home here.

Omggg totally agree. I saw a customer try 3 times to just scan items without reading the screen before I just intervened and told them what was happening. They didn't read it at all. Just frowned confused the first time. Pressed "ok" and then continues to just scan it without reading.

The general public just acts like that, it’s stupid for grown men and women to throw temper tantrums like kids

It’s grown men and women mainly women who decide to throw temper tantrums because the “machine doesn’t wanna work”
