I stopped at the grocery store this morning after Bible study. All I bought was asparagus. When I went through the checkout and paid for it, the cashier asked if I wanted a game card. Sure, why not? I'll take one. Maybe I'll win something. I was instructed to take the game card over to a scanner and run the bar code on the card through the scanner. I did as I was told. Then from the depths of the scanner came a booming voice informing me, and the whole store, that "sorry, this card is not a winner!"
I do not appreciate being told in front of all the shoppers that I am a loser. Couldn't the voice be changed to a sweet whispering voice stating "sorry, try again!" or "sorry, not this time!" instead of the loud machine yelling what sounded to me like: Na na nana na, you are a loser. How insulting. Hard on my self esteem.

Well, you're certainly not a loser in MY book.
I so agree. Tell them you will boycott the store if they don't change it. And I bet they will just look at you and laugh. Still not good on the self esteem, but maybe, just maybe they "might" change it and then you would be a part of change! What a feeling THAT would be!
