[pennywise]

Always shop alone so you can pay attention to what the cashier is doing. I prefer the self check outs, that way I know what I am doing. However, it is easy to be distracted. It is your pennies, so consider each item as it is being rung up. It is a good idea to put any with coupons at the end so you know what is happening. Do not let the cashier start until you have everything on the conveyer, that way you can observe easier. Good topic ladies.
