[ Parody ] Self checkout makes stupid comments about your purchases.
[ Reality ] Self checkout data mines your entire purchase history and suggest complementary items that you would like. Will never shut up.

And it keeps repeating it until you give a polite chuckle and nod, just like "unknown item in bagging area"
This whole culture of "I hope this person doesn't talk to me" is the gayest thing I've ever seen. All these faggots going on about how they don't want to talk to their Uber driver or retail person is just pure retardation. How can people complain about phones then find this funny.
Also I've never had a cashier be the first to discuss what I'm buying. Pretty sure they are not allowed to do that because it could scare away customers.

Are you sure you want all of those sodas and chocolate covered Twinkies fat ass?

When I had this job, we were expected to talk to customers. Some people did, some didn't. Thing is, around 30 minutes into my shift, I'd be so damn bored that I'd make conversation just because it was something to do while scanning groceries.

In your honor, next time I go to a grocery story I'll go into my spiel about how "death is critical to the definition of humanity, thus any immortals are exempt from human rights violations"

That sounds horrible, but considering that I'd entertain (talk to) actual crazy people that would come in at 11pm on a Tuesday night, and were probably on some kind of drugs or other, I'd probably discuss that with you too. Just don't place open cans of fish/pet food on my register and we'd be friends.

You sound like you'd be fun at.. No, wait, you don't!
