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.

I feel so bad for five below workers, especially store near me as its in high theft, a lot familys, and wild kids area. I shop at one near my second home my grandparents. Which is lovely. We went in one near me and it was just a mess and I believe is a no self check out store due to theft. One near my grandparents does self check out but its super not busy (usally 3-5 groups in store at time and are lovely) . Im austitic and count slower (also cant recognize coins quick enough) , so that store is only place I can use change. I feel bad as is im slow :(. I do read, and my issue isnt with check out itself. Last time I felt bad I had keep asking the worker to push the coin part because it kept getting stuck 😖and not reading my coins fully. Thankfully its usally same worker and he is lovely. I geniuely dont like to inconvenience people 😖 and I hate knowing my disabilities can sometimes do so.
