Real feelings. Possibly fictional people. Definitely still beeping.
"Scanned six things. Got the red light on a banana. Felt my soul leave my body. 10/10."
"My reaction to a red light is faster than to my own kids. Shared it anyway. No regrets."
"81% cursed, apparently. Sent it to the family chat. We're all 80%+. It's hereditary."
Questions, answered 🧾
Muttered by everyone, beneath a blinking red light.
Why does it say an assistant is coming to help you?
The till needs a human to approve something: an age-restricted item, an unexpected weight in the bagging area, a removed item, or a price check. So it pauses and calls for a person. Whether that person arrives this century is a separate, more spiritual question.
What's an "unexpected item in the bagging area"?
The bagging area is a scale expecting the exact weight of what you scanned. Put down a bag, a phone, a toddler or your own elbow and it panics. It is correct roughly never, but it tries, bless it.
Are the stats real?
Yes. Every report is a real tap, stored on your device. Nothing here is invented or inflated, no fake numbers.
Is this an official supermarket thing?
Absolutely not. It's an affectionate, unofficial parody, not connected to any shop. Brand names just describe where it happened. Made with love and mild rage by kf.social.
