Keep that red light away from me!

Scanning reminds me of my days as a cashier in a "Natural foods store" where you get people on both ends of the stupid spectrum. People actually say things like "I don't like organic produce" which simply means that you prefer your food sprinkled liberally with poison. It's one thing to say pesticides don't bother you much or whatever, but to prefer them? Lunacy.
But the other extreeme is folks who want you to cover up the red scanning light so it doesn't touch thier food.
Aside from being a huge pain in the cashier's ass, its just silly. If red lights hurt us, everyone who drove in traffic would be dead...and what about microwaves? If you have a pacemaker, they can actually kill you.

Okay, enough of that. My Boss is looking extra, extra hot today. It's probably the black shirt, or the saucy swagger, but who knows; he's a pretty hot looking guy anyway...

Somehow, I am hosting yet another party at my place tonight, even though the plan was to go elsewhere.
Too bad too, I just cleaned (eg: my apartment smells like carpet cleaner, not cat) now it'll be trashed by the time I get everyone out.
If you're in the neighborhood, swing on by around 11:30pm.

Um, if you cover the red light doesn't that make it kinda hard to scan the item? I mean, isn't that what the red light is FOR? And if they don't like organic produce WHY are they shopping in an organic food store? Just wondnering. :)

Is the answer to both questions is "Because they're morons."?

Well, when you cover up the scanner, you have to type in the codes manually, and it sucks ass.

And yes, morons it is...
