Job: cashier

Item doesn’t scan

Customer: “That means it’s free, right?”

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I’ve heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

    “These Samsung appliances look nice…”

    Yes they do— and that’s all they do well. That, and break in expensive ways, often and early.

    Avoid Samsung appliances.

    Edit: I sell appliances

      Note for those reading -

      This doesn’t apply in Europe, or large swathes of the planet. Samsung appliances are excellent.

      The US has virtually nonexistent consumer protection laws, so companies will get away with selling poor quality, because they can.

      See the Hyundai scandal. Only happened in one country, because it could

      Breathe easy, EU folks

          Same factory just send the units that normally wouldn’t be sellable (defects and such) but still function to the US

            You say that, but my experience is different. After my Samsung washing machine failed, I took it apart and found blatant evidence of planned obsolescence. If the units elsewhere are good, then the ones in the US aren’t just the same things with defects, but rather ones with spider arms cast from an entirely different metal alloy.
