Why is it that I feel like a criminal every time I use the self-checkout at Walmart?
I find myself making a big show of scanning each item and setting it aside.
Sometimes I talk to myself as I scan, asking out loud to no one but me where the barcode is or if the price that came up was right.
I then push my cart past the self-checkout lady and hope I don’t “get caught.”
For what, I do not know…
