That weight sensor under the bagging area is the real problem. It's looking for the exact weight of the scanned milk, and if your reusable bag is half a gram off, it freaks out. Honestly it turns the whole thing into a test you didn't study for, and failing it in front of a line of people feels weirdly embarrassing. Tbh I only use self-checkout for like three items now, stuff I can hold in my hands. Anything more and I'd rather just wait for a person.

My approach to admin work is hoping I remember before tax season. Receipts end up in my pocket after laundry. Email templates? I copy-paste from last time. Client calls get alarms, then I ignore them. Your method sounds way more sane.

2 AM bedtimes in my notebook shocked me into starting a 10:30 routine.
