My uncle told me the origin of the term "Jamoke".
It was the name of a race horse back in the 40s or 50s. It ran at Narragansett Park and Suffolk Downs, and apparently was one step away from the glue factory. It became a term applied to a mopey kinda guy--"he's a real Jamoke"  |

When the customer's 12 items suddenly become 30, i usually wait for the lull when the customer now starts to write a check  , then look at the cashier and say, "poor guy, he can't count" .  |

I wish that I could rig the 12 item register to charge double for item # 13, triple for #14 and so on. It should be expensive to be an inconsiderate idiot and this way the fare is pro-rated The dumber you are, the more you pay and the less likely that you'd notice.  |

I worked as a shelf stocker in a Stop and Shop and it was the most miserable job of my life. I had this b*&#$ of a boss who was on some type of crazy power trip and I got stuck stocking the womens higene aisle. Try stocking tampons while a 50 year old lady is standing next to you browsing. Not to mention I was making minimum wage minus taxes obviously and 10 $ a month union fees.

The self checkout is a good idea if it worked! The ones at walmart freakin stink. I have to sit around and wait for help half the time becuase my item wont scan or whatnot. I gave up and go back to the cashier now. Otherwsie i'll drop kick the damn self checkout things!  |

The self checkouts here at the local Stop & Shop work great.
I always use them when purchasing just a few items.
The first ones they had several years ago didn't work for crap.
The engineers/designers have since worked out a lot of the bugs.
I think many times the problem is located between the grocery basket,
and the scanning machine.

Have you seen the new scanners S&S are rolling out? You scan as you go,bag items as you go, adds up your total, tells you where items are located and all kinds of other crap. At checkout all you do is scan your card and pay, no scanning each item at the check out.

Just another way for them to monitor your shopping habits....Pretty soon all you have to do is FEEL like having a steak and someone will show up at the door with one.
They will start to have a favorites list for you after you've been there a couple of times
