Lifting items over the scanner fast? Because yeah, I am. I go shopping there 2-3 times a week, I know where the bar-code is on all the items I regularly buy, I can scan them just as fast as any professional, probably faster. Some of them are old ladies .... And not sure what other quality other than speed there is to scanning your items. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] stoly@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (3 children) You and some other commenters are super special.
