Rubes by Leigh Rubin for April 10, 2023

Literal minded fellow. What did he do in the housewares section by the Throw Pillows sign?

They didn’t train me to do that and they don’t pay me to do that. I don’t do that.

PS: Once, in a huge hurry, I tried it. It wouldn’t take cash. The “helper” checker told me that he couldn’t make change. And he could only accept bills. I was NOT going to do the work AND tip them 87¢. So he (or someone) got to put my non-purchase back.

Someone else showed me a cartoon of this recently – it may have been in comments on the “Not Always Right” web site.

Around here, Scotland, self checkout machines weigh your stuff – I hear that places elsewhere in the world manage without that – and now they also have a video camera on you, that shows on the screen. So you actually can check yourself out. Maybe I’m looking at a joke the boss made, that someone didn’t realise was a joke.

Never seen someone grocery shopping in a sportcoat and fedora.

If that’s supposed to be a mirror image of himself, his hand in the mirror should be the other way around.

Why do I hate mirrors? Let me count the ways. 1) They reflect me. 2) See one. :) :)

Wonder how much Id cost

I’d rather have some guy check me out.

someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.

I hope the Kardashians don’t shop there…the line would really back up!

I have always thought there is a nationwide shortage of full length mirrors! How else to explain the way people look when they go to Walmart????

Just inspecting the “goods”.

Wonder if Leigh’s ever been to one where you SEE the video feed of yourself! I was just at a CVS where they had that.

God forbid they should open a self check out at a funeral home.

I NEVER use self-checkout. That took someone’s job and made the CEO another freakin’ billion. Nope.
