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.

    Less regulations means more shortcuts. Another example is Hyundai/Kia. Why do the Kiaboyz exist only in the US when Kias are sold all over the world? Because it’s only in the US where they sold cars without immobilizers because they weren’t required to.

      You’re missing one big thing - there’s only one country that has horrendous consumer rights laws and a huge market, and 110v electric

      Well worth making models just for that one market

        ahem the actual standard is 120volts, but can tolerate down to 110volts

          That’s irrelevant to the advice in this thread

          Hope you get your adenoids sorted

          If there’s only one country that uses 110v, you have to make an appliances for that country specifically. If that country has really shitty consumer rights laws, why not also make the appliances shitty?
