Snoopy's developing an inner monologue is somehow less weird than that Charlie Brown takes care of four different babies - Schroeder, Lucy, Linus, and Sally - who all catch up to his age, the first two in less than three years of the strip.

I went to a café like this a few weeks ago. An hour between arriving and actually being served. And with wait times like that, there wasn't exactly a high rate of turnover, but somehow the staff seemed to be rushed off their feet the whole time. It was mystifying.

Of course Knut's there, he's the one who was voluntarily cleaning the highschool toilets.

Did they have a separate "banquet room" with maybe an office party, or other large group of people being served? My wife attends a monthly wine tasting at a local restaurant that's either held on an outside patio, or in an adjacent room. Since it's "ladies only", I usually sit at the bar with the valets watching a baseball game or something. These get-togethers can have upward of 50 attendees, and while the rest of the restaurant is relatively quiet, the waitstaff are working insanely hard in attending to the folks in the room you don't see.

It's a self checkout line. The self checkout line at our grocer utilizes a ring binder full of barcodes for whatever loose produce you're buying by weight. It's a pain because you have to leaf through the pages until you find the correct one. I usually skip self checkout if I'm buying produce, as it takes more than twice as long as just having the regular human cashier handle it.

I can't stand it when I see people do this. I mean, if it's offered by the vendor, like it sometimes is when we go to our local open air market, that's perfectly cool. But just because it happens to be loose, and unpackaged doesn't give you the right to graze at will.

Huh. Self checkouts here just have touchscreens where you select wherever fresh produce you're buying, it weighs it, and you're done. Takes a few seconds. The most common things are on one screen, the rest listed alphabetically.

I'm not a fascist. I'm a priest. Fascists dress up in black and tell people what to do.
Here when buying fresh produce there's a number on the price tag put up next to the produce. That number corresponds to a button on a digital scale that you find several of here and there in the produce section.

You take your produce, usually putting it in a plastic bag, put on the scale and hit the right button. A price sticker with barcode is printed, put that on your bag. Now it checks out like any other item with a bar code.

I have never seen a self-checkout though.

Produce has a code for the cashier. Different kinds of grapes (red, green, organic, etc) can have different prices. The codes are on the labels on all your fruit and stuff. I think it's most often a four digit number that usually starts with 4, but it starts with a different number for organic stuff. Cashiers get to know these numbers real well.

When I worked produce, I was told we were cool with people doing that. In fact, if someone wanted to try something, we were to cut it up for them or whatever. I think there were several reasons for this. For one, produce can greatly vary in taste, even for the same items--if you buy peaches one week, you won't necessarily get similar tasting peaches the next. For another, a lot of produce just gets old or goes bad and gets thrown out anyways, so it's not a big loss issue when someone takes a few grapes or whatever. Finally, you should always have at least three items when doing a list like this.
