If I had 'that Conspiracy Theory disorder (illusory pattern perception, I think they call it),' I would suspect that Walmart{R} & Jimmy Dean{R} were "conspiring against me" 
See, I recently tried to use a 'Jimmy Dean{R}'-coupon to buy some products that were apparently from 'Jimmy Dean{R},' but--even though the checkout-scanner "read" the coupon--it couldn't "apply" the coupon to the 'Jimmy Dean{R}'-products I bought!

The 'Jimmy Dean{R}'-discussion deals with that; But here's where Walmart's trickery comes in: buying those- and a few other-products, I picked-out more stuff than I had money on my card to pay-for; so--after I scanned the stuff and scanned my card to find out I didn't have enough money on it--I had to cancel some of the stuff.
When I cancelled a little bit more than the excess-amount, then--rather than return the 'little bit more' to my card's account--it 'returned' the extra to me in cash!
It was a little late, so--in a bit of a hurry to get back home--I considered the returned cash to be 'my refund for the coupon' (though it was actually money taken off of my card's account).
But I trust that 'somebody' (maybe not God Herself, but someone closer-than-me to Her in the world's power-structure 
) will help me straighten things out.

I work at Walmart, but I NEVER use the self-checkouts! Those self-checkouts are making part of my job go away and you are helping make it go away by using them!
You get what you deserve when using checkouts without a human running it!

hmm, maybe.
Or maybe it's a sign that you should become an expert in 'how the self-checkout works' to make yourself a crucial resource to the self-checkout users (kinda like 'workers whose jobs are being taken-over by machines' need to learn "how the machines work" to remain crucial to the modern workforce and to perhaps-improve the machines' usefulness).
And it does make you free to help customers on the floor or -to straighten-up the merchandise-display or -to get started re-stocking the shelves

@DaddyEvil So it's another form of 'charity'

@mythociate LOL! I only run a register after I have sold a phone, computer, tablet or television set. My real job is discussing the electronics we sell and helping the customers understand what they need to make those electronics work the way they are supposed to work. (So far, there isn't a machine that can do my job. I am sure there will be one someday, but hopefully, not until after I retire.)
I really don't use the self-checkouts, though. The people who run the registers usually aren't qualified to do more technical jobs.

I wonder why you did the at symbol in front of all your things in your title, that doesn't really accomplish anything here on my lap. Chad why don't you tag the post in the tag section that will get more than the at symbol in the title section would term of views.
