It's amazing how many people stand at the bus stop for 5 minutes and
only remember that they have to pay just as they board the bus.

Probably the same idiots who get to the supermarket checkout and only
then start excavating their handbags for their purse.

Or get a statement out of a cash machine and stand there reading it,
oblivious that they are preventing those behind her using the machine.

At the supermarket self-checkout yesterday I observed someone paying in
coins, one at a time, looking at the display in between each one to see
how much more was required. She was putting in over a fiver in small
coins! Even if you over-pay, they return the balance to you as change.

Hmmm

And when finally paid up, she carefully took every item individually off
the bagging area and placed it in her rucksack. Which took another
several minutes.

Well if you have a rucksack you have to do that or else call the helper
for everyother item as it does not register as the sensor does not
really hold a rucksack.

Or use another supermarket. It seems only to be Sainsbury's that have
perpetual "unexpected item in bagging area" messages.
