I went to the self checkout, because it was supposed to be fast, fun, and easy-
Of course, no human conversation did there happen to be.
.
I appreciate being a special customer, as the machine tells me so-
As long as we can get the job done, our relationship will continue to grow.
.
To first find the bar, and then take a swipe-
To then put the item, in the bag, without much hype.
.
I know to put it in the bag, as the machine keeps telling me so-
Remind me again, so that we can get on with this show.
.
And, thanks for the button, in case a bag will not be used-
Some items, such as gallons of milk, can be excused.
.
Yes, we’re finished now, and I’m about ready to pay-
With my choice, of payment, I’ll be on my way.
.
Was this experience really fast, fun, and easy?
Just checkout my face, upon departure, and you will see.
.
I went to the self checkout, because it was supposed to be fast, fun, and easy-
Of course, no human conversation did there happen to be.
