"I-Scan"
By James Alex Gerard
[BEGIN SYNOPSIS]
A comedic bit set at an "I-Scan," a grocery store's self-service checkout area.
Unfortunately, as the main character discovers, something has gone obviously awry with this particular "I-Scan" device. Instead of announcing politely worded instructions, as per the norm, the device's voice system announces and administers a series of belittling, admonishing and downright insulting statements about the main character's use -- or misuse -- of the "I-Scan."
