The self service checkouts at Tesco

Poetry: Following instructions...

Instruction Three: Walk Away
Where??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Where to???????????????????????????????????????????????????
There’s no suggestions- no number four!?

Anywhere??!

Following instructions, we walk away with a choice of anywhere.
We arrive at the trolley bay.
The squealing noise starts.
We walk away again.

And I think of the poor souls who might forget to read the instructions at Tesco’s self service checkouts and will be stuck staring at the screen and listening to that artificial voice.
Read the instructions- you can walk away!!!
