Went to Home Depot a few years ago to get some replacement bolts for my son's chair. It was from Ikea, so I needed metric threaded bolts -- not the run of the mill here in the States, but available. Home Depot had a tiny plastic bag with four bolts inside pretty cheap, so that was the way to go!

There was only one "regular" checkout station, and that had quite a line. There were four self service stations, so that's where I went. At the prompt I scanned the tiny little baggie of screws. It then prompted me to put the scanned item in the bag. I did.

It insisted again that I put the item in the bag. Since I only had one item I tried to take it out of the bag. The computer demanded that I put the item back in the bag -- which I did.

Then the computer insisted that I put the baggie of screws into the bag. And the hilarity continued.

I called the store employee over.

I really try not to use the self-checkout lines unless I really have to.
