I just saw this over at Chris's Invincible Super-Blog and I had to pass it on. I hope Chris won't mind.I had to pass it on because it's incredibly funny. And because tonight, I ate pizza.
I know, I know... Where's Susan Powter shouting "Stop the Insanity!" when I need her, right?
Well, there was sale at Jewel-Osco. I couldn't help myself.
Incidentally, when I go through the self-checkout at the Jewel-Osco, the machine talks to me in a nice, pleasant female voice.
But after I've finished scanning and bagging everything and it's time for me to pay, she always says the same thing...
"Please check your basket."
And it always makes me giggle. She's asking me to check out MY OWN BASKET. So I giggle. Like a little boy giggles when someone makes a fart joke.
Does anyone else's self-checkout ask THEM to check their basket? Just askin'...

The Jewel self-checkout voice is so prissy-sounding, too--which makes it even funnier. As if she were saying, "Do we have to go wee-wee or doodums now?"
I check my own basket, several times a day, without prompting from anything in the supermarket. But when i read what the machine says to you, I giggled too. :)
HUGS...
Every time I'm in the store, I do the self check-out JUST to hear "please check your basket". And I give it a little grab and giggle.
Good times........
