Self Check Oout Lanes


Be Warned...don't take your 2 1/2 Yr. old and your 5 month old baby through a self-check out lane, it may cause a major headache!! On Tuesday this week Dylan went with my mom grocery shopping, he loves doing this, this was not a problem, until I showed up at the grocery store to get a few of my own things with Cassidy and grab him from my mom so we could head home and make dinner. Anyway, a trip that was only supposed to take minutes turned into what felt like an eternity. I went through the self scan area with my groceries because I only had 15-20 items and the regular lanes had long lines. I figured this lane would be a quicker solution, little did I know that while I was scanning my items, my son, who I thought was being very good was down on the ground checking out the self-check out machine. In a matter of minutes the machine started to act funny and all the sudden it said it was "shutting down"...I called for the service guy and as I did this I looked down to see my son with a flap to the machine open, he found the computer in the machine and shut the whole system down. I was extremely embarrassed. Let me tell you getting this this back up and running is a whole new story. Lets just say my mom who was getting a full weeks worth of groceries left the store before I did.

That's hillarious! Go Dylan! I also attempted the self check out and thought it would be cool for Isaac to hand me the items (thus making him feel important) but instead, he threw the items on the floor much to his sister's laughing approval. People were laughing out loud as they walked by. I hate grocery shopping with two kids!
