We were cracking up last time at Safeway because it announces everything you scan.

"please put your bulk potatoes in the bagging area"

And the voice changes when it says the item name, no idea why we thought it was funny but we were losing it

I love the voice change, it makes it sound like it's saying the item with massive air quotes so suddenly everything sounds like a euphemism for something terrible

The one near me just says "please place your ITEM in the bagging area" for everything. Everything is just "item" and it says "item" is in a different voice that's louder than the rest of the sentence. What.
