Job: cashier

Item doesn’t scan

Customer: “That means it’s free, right?”

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Only about 4 weeks in as a cashier and I’ve heard this enough to last me a lifetime.

    Note for those reading -

    This doesn’t apply in Europe, or large swathes of the planet. Samsung appliances are excellent.

    The US has virtually nonexistent consumer protection laws, so companies will get away with selling poor quality, because they can.

    See the Hyundai scandal. Only happened in one country, because it could

    Breathe easy, EU folks

        Go to Europe

        Enter shop

        Buy fridge

        Carry home

        Realise it doesn’t work because you have girly electricity

      Really? How can a company make terrible appliances for a single country? They’re not made domestically.

        Less regulations means more shortcuts. Another example is Hyundai/Kia. Why do the Kiaboyz exist only in the US when Kias are sold all over the world? Because it’s only in the US where they sold cars without immobilizers because they weren’t required to.

          You’re missing one big thing - there’s only one country that has horrendous consumer rights laws and a huge market, and 110v electric

          Well worth making models just for that one market
