"Excuse me, could you help me with this?"
"Sure, no problem."
Then he showed me how to do it the correct way. Thanks to him, I could successfully finish my foraging, I mean my grocery shopping.
"Are you okay now, or do you want me to stay?"
Surprisingly, he offered to continue helping as he saw two other people like me queuing behind me. That's very nice of him.
I thanked him but declined his generous offer since I could help my friends.
I Â showed my friends how to do it and then left them to finish on their own.
However, I stumbled upon another problem on the way out. I needed the receipt with the barcode to be scanned to open the barrier.
I chose not to print the receipt, as I would throw it away anyway. So I just stood there, feeling stupid, waiting for a store attendant to open the barrier.
Suddenly, I heard a woman's voice from behind me.
"Follow me."
