April 2018
Listening to the beep of the self-checkout, I realized I was hearing a little voice accompanying it. I looked over and saw a little curly head peeking over the top of the desk.
Every time their parent swiped a book across the pad, they were announcing "TA-DA!"
RFID is endlessly entertaining.
The follow-up story to this is that I got so used to the "TA-DA!" when showing kids how to use the self-checkout that when I went to vote, slid my ballot into the machine and it beeped I automatically said "TA-DA!" Fortunately for my (minimal) dignity, the election volunteer sitting there is mostly deaf.
