"Unexpected item in the bagging area."

[–]PlayingWithCum 62 points63 points ago

"Weight error, the cashier will be with you shortly"

[–]Redcard911 78 points79 points ago

"Please place your item on the weighting area." IT'S ON THERE! Well this is depressing...

[–]corvus_cornix 65 points66 points ago

Unfortunately, not depressing enough.

[–]CaptainClappers 5 points6 points ago

Oho I see what you did there ~:|

[–]drippingfist 4 points5 points ago

[–]lilbro209 0 points1 point ago

Wow TIL there are dialects in smileys.

Just add pudding. The machine will remove it, as is tradition.

"Unexpected item in the tea-bagging area." FTFY

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

"Please remove this item before continuing."

[–]sausage_lynx 126 points127 points ago

That's right before "Finish and Pay"

[–]DoubleDwayneBowe 53 points54 points ago

And right after "Attendant had been notified to assist you."

I can't believe that Bryce prefers Van Hattens card to mine

[–]Repugnance 6 points7 points ago

Look at that subtle off white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God. It even has a watermark.

[–]NecronomiconUK 2 points3 points ago

[–]FappingAsYouReadThis 8 points9 points ago

I laughed even harder at this then the original post. It's like the machine is sentient.

[–]i_is_a_cow 19 points20 points ago

If gas is an arm and a leg, what could you have bought that costs a weiner?

[–]Midnight_Skye 5 points6 points ago

depends who's it is.

[–]Zoidinho 52 points53 points ago

A wedding ring

[–]Wait_What_Happened 7 points8 points ago

I feel like this post wont get the response it deserved

[–]sweet-brah 19 points20 points ago

That's one horny self-checkout machine.

[–]artymccluer 17 points18 points ago

I know how I get when I check myself out...

[–]3lfk1ng 9 points10 points ago

It was probably checking you out.

[–]Zoidinho 8 points9 points ago

Apparently it was tired of being a self-checkout machine

[–]gorgen002 10 points11 points ago

I'm a self checkout machine.

[–]TheCakeFlavor 6 points7 points ago

Do you check yourself out?

[–]LordJelly 4 points5 points ago

I checked myself out. Hard.

"Clean up on Isle 7!"

[–]Justascienceteacher 33 points34 points ago

It's just an error. You're going to have to bang it a bit.

[–]GuyTheTerrible 6 points7 points ago

that's one way of coming into money

[–]lruter1992 29 points30 points ago

I'd put something in her bagging area.

[–]almcken 13 points14 points ago

Lesson: Don't piss off the programmers.

[–]Dave_Vai 14 points15 points ago

If you can get your penis in that slot then you might want to get some pills from some sort of dodgy email.

[–]PComotose 14 points15 points ago

I think this story could be relevant.

[–]TheCakeFlavor 1 point2 points ago

Perfect.

[–]Gynominer 12 points13 points ago

Feed me a stray cat.

[–]figboot11 10 points11 points ago

Photoshop...it originally said "spine".

[–]bcarle 8 points9 points ago

God help me, I think I'd rather insert my penis.

[–]AATroop 0 points1 point ago

[–]ijfoxcroft 4 points5 points ago

Don't put your penis In the bill collector, it will rip that shit right off!

[–]kayakin3d 2 points3 points ago

Wait wait wait. I didn't know I could pay that way. Does Kroger do that?!?

[–]Ragark 5 points6 points ago

[–]SplitTwins 3 points4 points ago

If that was in my neighborhood, I really would just want to see a woman pull out a strapon on this machine.

[–]muckitymuck 1 point2 points ago

Technology News Headline: "Robot Prostitutes Beta Release is Disappointing."

[–]zakii 3 points4 points ago

"I'm not well endowed..." "Every little helps."

[–]lanteam 2 points3 points ago

pixels, etc.

[–]Kagouti 2 points3 points ago

Whole new meaning to the 'bagging area'

[–]omplatt 1 point2 points ago

That's why I don't shop at Tesco. That and I don't live in either the UK or Ireland.

[–]one_random_redditor 0 points1 point ago

Or Cezch Rep or Thailand or the other place Tesco are bizarrely popular.

[–]Your-Doing-It-Wrong 0 points1 point ago

Anyone know how this shit is done? I'm assuming there is a secret menu on there to program certain functions.

[–]Pyrocitus 1 point2 points ago

Its not, this is a photoshop and there are no hidden menus.

[–]rather_fast_whiteman 1 point2 points ago

At first I thought pennies but that didn't make sense lol

[–]marathon 1 point2 points ago

every little helps

[–]ShakeyBobWillis 1 point2 points ago

Hell of a place to store your discount club card.

[–]FineFuse 2 points3 points ago

'Finish and Pay'

[–]shamwowmuthafucka 1 point2 points ago

"In Soviet Russia, machine checks you out..."

[–]DasChillum 2 points3 points ago

That's what she said?

[–]Quinnett 2 points3 points ago

Your question mark makes me think she didn't really say that...

[–]anon_zero 0 points1 point ago

Dammit! Who typed a question mark on the Teleprompter?

[–]ANAL_RANCH_DRESSING 1 point2 points ago

I'll be there soon.

[–]Paperwork-HSI 0 points1 point ago

I'm not wearing my glasses, so in m blurry vision I thought the purple sign said "Scan-Fuck-Pack"

[–]andawarmgeek 0 points1 point ago

The future of robotic pimping:

"Please insert bills, then insert penis."

[–]jflono 1 point2 points ago

Don't do it! It's a trap!

[–]ATierney 0 points1 point ago

"Please see the self check-out clerk for assistance."

"Well if you say so!"

[–]pikindaguy 0 points1 point ago

I always need these instructions written down.

[–]Ender_OH_Wiggin 0 points1 point ago

Can you get cash back?

[–]Sojoez[!] 0 points1 point ago

And as you put your dick in the scanner, the machine starts laughing out loud.

[–]blueblade259 0 points1 point ago

step1: scan step2: pack step3: pay

[–]Lanlost 0 points1 point ago

This is the first thing that I've laughed OUT LOUD about all day.

I then pondered what that mean't. Oh well.

[–]Styx92 0 points1 point ago

"Come on. Just the tip."

[–]solanumtuberosum 1 point2 points ago

Oh, that's just silly... why would you ever insert your spine into that?

[–]plabebob 0 points1 point ago

Nice referencing.

[–]Pimpin_Aquila -1 points0 points ago

They swaped the processor with a Japanese sex doll! I'd hate to be the guy with the doll... Doll:"your change is $5.00" Man:"wtf?!"

[–]ramerica 0 points1 point ago

Tesco is a dirty girl, who don't play no games.

[–]mattydee20 0 points1 point ago

choice of payment: prostitutuion

[–]Shooter__McGavin 0 points1 point ago

Genuinely made me laugh out loud. Thank you!

[–]khosikulu 0 points1 point ago

I didn't know Tesco ran a "members only" warehouse club.

The most disturbing part may however be that it doesn't stipulate whose penis must be used. I suppose you could just yank one off the street, so to speak.

[–]ukiyoe 0 points1 point ago

Music to my ears.

[–]talldarkandasian 1 point2 points ago

Works the same as clubcard pretty much. Come on, prove your loyalty.

[–]kbomb123 0 points1 point ago

weirdly, its my dads job to manage a team of people who design the software for the self service check outs at Tesco. The other day he was remotely taking machines offline and applying updates, i wonder if he could do this.... for reddit.

[–]plabebob 0 points1 point ago

I have a weird competition with myself to say this out loud every time I use the self checkout. I have to say it loud enough to drown out the recorded voice saying card to get a point. My Boyf just loves shopping with me haha!

[–]ChemicallyBlind 1 point2 points ago

as a man who works at tesco: obvious photoshop. how do i know? tis simple, the self serve tills cannot be reprogrammed by us, we can tell it what to sow on the screen outside of the normal shop software. when we turn them on, they boot straight into it and we cant change that. we cant deplay messages on the screens that arn't already programmed in.

[–]dowieczora 0 points1 point ago

It remaind me of Idiocracy, penis jokess all over the world.

[–]ProfCrastinator 0 points1 point ago

It's not even a very good shop..

[–]pizza_bro 1 point2 points ago

I AM ROBO-WHORE

INSERT PENIS

INSERT PENIS

[–]BensonEdge 1 point2 points ago

Really easy to do. Offers you a keyboard when logged in as staff to type things out. :/

[–]jdwilsh -1 points0 points ago

No it doesnt.

[–]BensonEdge 0 points1 point ago

YES IT DOES. Login/display/textdisplay. Same system you would use to add a till prompt for age restricted sales.

[–]jdwilsh 0 points1 point ago

Where on earth are you logging in? Neither the staff or the supervisor menus have the option for display.

[–]BensonEdge 0 points1 point ago

Back office allows any till to display a message when logged out

[–]dontbeadickbag -2 points-1 points ago

What the fuck is Tesco?

[–]fuckshitwank 3 points4 points ago

Biggest chain of cheapo supermarkets and mini-supermarkets in the UK.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

It's a British supermarket chain; the largest one in the country, and the third largest in the World.

[–]Laterface -2 points-1 points ago

Is this some kind of joke??

[–]Darrth -2 points-1 points ago

Whats the first rule of a fight club guys??

[–]SirComeStandChill -5 points-4 points ago

it would have been funnier if you had said "...where?!". Totally missed a good chance for a perfect caption

[–]That_One_Stoned_Guy 5 points6 points ago

Captions are lame

[–]SirComeStandChill 0 points1 point ago

then why the heck are you on reddit "the worlds top caption site"

[–]InitiateBioQuasar -4 points-3 points ago

Fake.
