Ramblings by Judy

Did you ever go to the supermarket and use on of those computerized checkouts? I use them when I only have a couple of items to checkout.

Today I had Super Glue and orange juice (weird combination, huh).

So I get to the checkout and the computer says "Please scan club card".
I do this, and then the computer says "Please scan first item" I scan the Super Glue, the computer says "Please place item on the conveyor". I do this. Immediately the conveyor reverses and the computer says "Please
place item on conveyor, credit $2.19". So now I go through the whole routine again,this time the computer says "Please place item on conveyor", I do this and immediately the conveyor reverses and the computer says "Please place item on conveyor, credit $2.19", This time I scan the Super Glue and I don't put it on the conveyor (I figured it was too light to register on the conveyor) and the computer says "Please place item on conveyor" but instead of placing the Super Glue on the conveyor, I scan the orange juice and put that on the conveyor. The computer liked that idea.

The computer says "Please select method of payment", I select cash and the computer says "Please deposit cash to the left of the scanner"
at which point I say "PLEASE SHUT UP ALREADY'.

"Innocent until proven guilty." These are the words that are used in all court cases, that is, if it's not traffic court. In New York city you are allowed to make a delivery to a location if you have commercial plates on your vehicle. We have an SUV with commercial plates and my husband delivers vitamins to small stores in Manhatten. At least once a week he gets a parking ticket. Because we have the commercial plates we can park where the trucks park. Every week he gets a parking ticket. It's ridiculous.

Every week he goes to traffic court. He has a stop around the corner from traffic court. He makes sure to serve the store. Then he goes around the corner to traffic court..He shows the judge the receipt for the delivery where he got the parking ticket and every week he is found "not guilty".

Don't you think when he gets back the car ANOTHER PARKING TICKET.
We can't win.
