Job: cashier

Item doesn’t scan

Customer: “That means it’s free, right?”

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I’ve heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

    When I bought my house it came with an induction stove.

    I thought it was pretty great being able to boil water in 2 minutes.

    It was a GE profile, and it just suddenly mysteriously failed on me. Kind of sucks, it wasn’t that old of a stove, maybe 5 years.

    The board that it needed to have replaced cost $1,700.

    So I said fuck that, I went and bought a Whirlpool induction stove. $900.

    It has worked really well for the last year and a half, but the one thing that I truly and honestly despise about it is that the controls are capacitive touch and that means instead of flicking your wrist and setting it on medium heat you have to hit a button to turn on the stove and then hit a different button three or four times to adjust it down to medium heat and it doesn’t always respond to the button touches.

    If I end up having to buy a stove again in the future, it’s got to have a knob on it. It’s such a tiny thing but it’s so fucking annoying.

        I’ve had exactly two dishwashers completely stop functioning in my entire life. Both were GE post Haier and within the last 6 years. Also had a Haier made GE microwave completely fail.

        I replaced the microwave (and the matching stove) with Samsung and haven’t had one bit of trouble with either.

        I thought I had just gotten a lemon, but three separate failures within a couple of years has really soured my opinion of them. I was a lot more worried about the Samsung appliances I bought, but they’ve been a dream.

        Note: I am not recommending Samsung appliances, at all. I got an amazing deal and fully expected them to fail shortly after the warranty was up. I’ve had to repair several of my friends and family’s washers, dryers, and refrigerators. Samsung’s poor reputation is well earned, I just got lucky
