My friend and I went to Stop and Shop to eat. When we found what we wanted we walked around checking out the store. We finally went to the cash register. Wanting to save time we went to the self checkout. For fun, instead of doing it in English we did it in Spanish. We found out when you do it in Spanish it starts speaking to you in Spanish, giving you directions. We couldn’t understand the directions but listened for a minute anyway. We found out that if you listen long enough after it speaks really fast and then says “checkout barcode scanner” in a weird robotic voice that’s in English. Do you have any experiences with self checkout?
