A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I just move on to the next machine, let them deal with clearing out your order with the machine.
It's like having lives in a video game.
All of the self checkouts I've seen clear the transaction automatically if you don't touch them for a couple of minutes. There's a prompt asking if you want to continue, and if that times out it just resets
I actually haven't seen one that does that yet. Although most of the stores they have near me put them in a while ago though. They typically want to retain the info for loss prevention purposes. I know the store closest to me would have to audit all of the non sale transactions at the end of the day or next morning.
Oddly enough I've worked as both a cashier sometimes watching over self-checkouts and also as an engineer in a company that manufactures self-checkouts (although I worked in a different department and only occasionally helped out with the checkouts). They can log that stuff no trouble. They cancel it as far as the customer sees, but that doesn't mean anything for what it keeps behind the scenes. At least on the ones I worked with, there was the option for cashiers to retrieve the most recent state and print it out as a receipt either for the customer or to scan it to transfer to another checkout
Well they apparently have a time from inactivity to human resolution time tracker. If things look sketchy, especially multiple times they start investigating the self service employee.
But again, these machines are relatively old. I am not even sure if they have an auto reset or void feature. I have had to ask a clerk to clear out a prior order because of said system failure.
That's fair enough. While I've seen a lot more of the insides of self checkouts than the average person, I definitely don't know the ins and outs of every model out there, not even close
Yup, that's what I do.
