I broke a vow today--I used self-checkout at the supermarket..
I had only one item and the lines were long so I did something I promised myself I would never do.

I don't even pump my own gas,even if it costs me a little more.

I'm gulty as hell!

1. You're fine.
Sheesh. I never use self-checkout either, because I see it as a means of cutting jobs. But going through the checkout once is nothing to beat yourself up over.

3. I Don't Wanna Do Anthing
Not check out my own items at the store nor bag my own items and I dang sure don't want to pump my own gas. Am I lazy???

4. Ah, don't beat yourself up
(unless you enjoy that sort of thing. In that case, have at it)

I work in a grocery store but that doesn't mean I think people should wait in line all day with one item when they can use a self checkout. You're off the hook as far as I'm concerned. But your confession has been duly filed and noted.

6. You're the devil
You're hereby banished from the realm of the living! Back to hell with you!

(I thought I sensed an evil presence)
