I felt like stealing her groceries when she broke the self-checkout rule
DEAR MISS MANNERS: What do you think about people who start scanning their items at grocery store self-checkouts and sending them down the belt before one has finished bagging one’s own items?
I have experienced this rude and selfish behavior on several occasions. Today, when a lady behind me sent her items down the belt and they became intermingled with my own groceries, I felt like bagging them up with mine.
I suggest that grocery stores put up a sign that asks people to show courtesy and wait until the person ahead of them is done. Or perhaps the scanning device shouldn’t operate until the bagging area is clear.
