I don't like using the self-service machines. It always says "help is coming" when I am doing everything properly and there's not always a member of staff in sight so I'm just standing there helplessly, and I get agitated. Once I just had 2 simple items (a bottle of juice and a loaf of bread) and I spent about 15 minutes at a very obstinate self-service machine that wouldn't co-operate. It put me off using those things.

I'm stressed out at the moment and even the simplest interactions like paying for shopping are going wrong. At other times I might be more open to random info and capable of responding.

A friendly, smiling cashier is better than a cranky one, but they're supposed to act friendly because it's their job. The smiles at McDonald's are free? I can't eat a smile, and you're getting paid for smiling, Ms. Treat of the Week. :mrgreen:

Most days when they say "have a good day", I say "thank you", but on other, not so good days I just say "too late" under my breath as I leave.
