You ever go to self-checkout thinking it would be faster and see people in there acting like its the first time they ever saw a machine of any kind? People just delighting themselves in every moment, gently caressing that frozen chicken, just loving every minute of the experience, prolonging it as much as they can. If you’re like me and you’re more into living fast and dying young, let me introduce you to the beast mode line.
You scan your store’s rewards card to get in – that is if you haven’t lost your top gun privilege. There is an algorithm that determines if you’re fast enough to be in this line – it takes into account the number of articles you brought so that you don’t get banned for simply bringing a lot of stuff, some cumbersome stuff gives you a second or two of grace, you get bonus points for selecting that you have multiples of the same item, bagging your items on time is also a part of the challenge.
If you don’t manage to meet the requirements, you lose access to the fast lane and you also lose all the groceries you’ve brought – they fall into a pit of some kind, idk. If you’ve already paid and started bagging them, you do not get a refund. You get your access back in the next year. In regular self-checkout it shows how effective you are to prepare you to actually face the challenge.
