Went to OfficeMax to buy envelopes, paper, and (oddly enough) a padlock.
At check-out lane, I'm watching the little credit-card screen while the clerk is scanning my items.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Me: "It's not reading the scans, nothing shows on the screen."
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Her: "The total will appear when I finish."
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Me: [Glancing over at the nothing.] "Nothing is showing up on the register."
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Her: [Annoyed.] It will when I finish."
Beep. Beep. Beep.
After the last beep, she looked at her register and realized that nothing she had scanned had been recorded by the register, much less totaled.
She pressed a few keys.
Her: "I'll have to scan everything again, there was something wrong with the computer."
And, Chevy Chase would turn to Jane Curtin and say "Jane, you ignorant sl*t."

What we have here is failure to communicate. She needs to be put on the chain gang for awhile.
BTW, my word verification is sumak. I hope it isn't the poisonous variety.
So what did you actually say after her acknowledgement that she had to start over?
I'd have a hard time not saying anything.
