Grocery store self-checkout gave me a weird wakeup call about patience
I kept getting flagged for weight mismatches on produce and was fuming until I realized I had been slamming the bag down instead of placing it gently. After 3 trips of watching the machine yell at me, I finally figured out it's a scale not a wrestling mat. Anyone else notice small habits like this ruining a simple task?

Man that's frustrating. Good on you for figuring it out though. I've done the same thing with the bag slamming, felt like an idiot for weeks.

Right, the bag slamming thing was the worst, I was so mad at myself for not thinking of it sooner. It's those little things that end up making you feel like you're losing your mind for a week. I'm glad you got it sorted, even if the path there was a bit rocky.

Respect the honesty but I actually like the self-checkout yelling at me sometimes. It forces me to slow down and pay attention instead of rushing through everything like a zombie. That bag slamming thing happened to me too but after I figured out the trick it became weirdly satisfying to place things just right on the scale. Honestly makes me feel like I mastered something small that used to frustrate me daily.
