Tomatoes Confuse the Self-Checkout

No items found MATER How does ts even work 💔

A self-checkout machine shows a search screen with “MATER” entered and reports “No items found,” while three tomatoes sit on the scanner. The joke is that the machine cannot recognize a common tomato, making the self-checkout seem absurdly useless; this is sent as a reaction to confusing or frustrating technology.
