กำลังสร้างบทเรียน...
1
Okay, bread, milk, apples... this should be quick.
2
Wait, what? Unexpected item in the bagging area?
3
Ugh, I've only put my own bag down!
4
Hello there! Having a bit of trouble with the machine?
5
Yes, it keeps beeping every time I put something down.
6
Don't worry, it happens to everyone at least once a day.
7
Have you put your rucksack in the bagging area?
8
Oh... yes, I have. Is that the problem?
9
That's it. The machine thinks your bag is shopping.
10
Just take it off, and I'll reset it for you.
11
Right, sorry. I feel a bit silly now.
12
Not at all! Go ahead and carry on scanning.
13
And now it's flashing again! What have I done this time?
14
Ah, that's just the wine. I need to check your age.
15
My age? Seriously? I'm thirty-four years old!
16
Sorry, it's the rules. Could I see some ID, please?
17
Hang on, where's my wallet? Oh no, not in the car...
18
Oh, here it is, under the apples. Phew!
19
Thanks. Oh, nice photo! You had much longer hair then.
20
Um, please don't look too closely at that photo.
21
Honestly, you should take it as a compliment.
22
If you look under twenty-five, we have to ask.
23
Well, in that case, you've made my day!
24
Right, all done. I'll just pay by card.
25
Oh, you're joking! It's beeping again!
26
Wait... oh dear. That's my fault this time.
27
I've been leaning on the bagging area!
28
Ha! So it's not just me, then!
29
Definitely not. These machines don't like anybody.
30
If you're ever stuck again, just wave at me.
31
Thanks so much. You've been really helpful.
32
Next time, I'm keeping my bag on my back!
33
Good plan! Have a lovely afternoon.
