Inconvienient Technology

This is an ode to Register #5. Oh Register 5, how I loathe thee. It was such a let down to be assigned to you tonight. In short you suck Register 5! Your belts are frayed and clunky. Your scanner needs a seeing eye dog. Your conveyor ramp is offset so it rips many a package open much to the dismay of cashier and customer alike. Your money drawer pops out far too slowly if it pops out at all. Your touch screen? HA! More like pound screen. Banging away at your unresponsive screen has caused more miskeys than when I learned to type oh so many years ago. Some of those miskeys have even forced me to make change in my head and you know I totally suck-diddly-uk at math. Why they continue to even use you is beyond me. None of the other 8 registers cause as much trepidation and woe as you do. I truly feel that every cashier assigned to you should get a shirt at the end of their shifts saying, "I survived Register 5"
