We should just do away with cash. And while the world's at it, let's get rid of landlines, watches, and newspapers. All absolete. But not pen and paper - I still love writing things down.

Might we interest you in a $400 computer tablet and a $70 Bluetooth stylus?

You can pry the watch off my cold, dead wrist.

Landlines, yes. But I still wear a watch every day and get the local newspaper (plus have two online subscriptions).
I don't pay for a lot of things with cash, but it's useful for some things.

Never again. Guest service was like... why do you have so much change??????? It took like 8 months to use all that change

Landlines are good where there's spotty signal.

My husband agrees!

I was always lost without my watch - until I got my first smartphone. Ditched the watch within a short period of time and have never looked back.

 

[Captain Orca]

I use car console change for coffee at McD's or the convenience store. Not a fan of Bux.

 

[Captain Orca]

Also always travel with a C note worth of green in case there's a glitch with one of the credit cards.

 

[Tessa120]

I need to get a new watch. Haven't replaced the last one and I'm annoyed all the time constantly that I have to dig my phone out whenever I want to know the time.

My phone is clipped to my jeans unless I'm home. Easy access.

Me too. Then I got a smartwatch. Now, I can't live without that.

 

[Tessa120]

I priced them once and compared features. The were fancy pedometers not worth the $200. I expected more for that money.

 

[happygoth]

Or you can be like my husband and wear a regular watch, a smartwatch, and carry a smartphone.

Yes, which is why my neighbors still have a landline at their second home way north of here, out in the middle of nowhere. But in my small city? No problem.
When my landline went on the fritz for the second time in a few months, I decided to call it quits and finally get a cell phone. This was quite a few years ago, but still well after a lot of people had cells in addition to landlines. I remember one of my coworkers at the time (before Target) being astonished that I'd gone so long without a cell. ;-)

Sticking their card to pay before I've even scanned the first or second thing... What the heck? None of your shit has been scanned, it only slows me down because then the reader acts like it accepts it and my screen loads for a second to process what just happened so I'm just standing there like "bruh"...

 

[DBZ]

I can't stand the guests who won't let you put the bag down before they grab it. I absolutely can not stand a guest's hand touching mine. Don't people teach their kids not to grab things from people?

 

[ManMythMachine]

He must be a Time Lord.

 

[ManMythMachine]

Or the Train Man from the Matrix.

 

[employee 626]

Guests who cannot find the cheese aisle.

I need the story about this

 

[redeye58]

Putting their card in to pay without clearing the screen of the circle ad, then sitting there looking at it until I have to reach over & clear it because they didn't listen as I explained what Circle was.

I’m at the SD so it matters less but I literally just say “if you’re a circle member you can enter your number or just hit skip” No other explanation lol

 

[FlowTeamChick]

Might have already said this, but I've been repeatedly irked about it just lately: guests who seem to think it's funny to make a mess with shaving cream or hair removal products. The latter have a distinctive and unpleasant odor so that makes it even more annoying. Why do people have to be such jerks? :-(
