[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 200679, member: 179"] Daisy, that is thoughtful on your part. BUT...we are required to have EVERYTHING out of the cart to be scanned. You have 3 gallons of the same darn milk? All three must come out. You have 9 12 packs of soda? All must come out. They claim it's a loss prevention issue. I claim it's crapola. Don't even get me started on the 50lb. bags of rock salt or dog food.:sick: Try scanning that! I just appease them by getting on my belt and typing in the UPC code and do a BIG shove down. I guess on the positive side I've developed some nice muscles in my arms, shoulders and back. Toss in having to walk to and from the bus station (only two blocks on the way there, but 2 miles on the way home), my legs are looking a tad better. Who needs a gym?:winking: Just ignore my arm brace, slight limp, swollen ankles and bright green apron I have to wear walking home from the bus stop, I look like a beauty queen!! (Note to self: Remember to wear a coat when you go to work.) Oh, forgot about the pocket protector stuffed to the hilt. If that doesn't say NERD, I don't know what does. Don't even asked about the stuffed bra. Another new checker asked me today if I had a copy of the 'cheat sheet' I made for the flipping hundreds of codes you have to memorize. I reach inside my bra and pull out a full page of codes and handed it to her. She stares at me like a deer in headlights and says...ummm..thanks. Here - you want a Sharpie? How about some scissors for those coupons they never cut out? I've got a stolen manager's badge for those annoying void overrides, too. The Exacto knife is a bit tricky to get out in a pinch, but I'll make it work. She just stands there blinking, then slowly walks away. You think I'm kidding. Sad to say, I'm not. I've got this stuff down to an art. Bend down so the cameras/customers can't see you and snatch that stuff out in an instance. No problem, Mrs. Smith!
