Imagine going to self-checkout in a rush with only one item and then you get caught with the “wait for assistance” message.to explain why that happens at the store. Her video currently has over 50,000 views.
For starters, any sort of ID check for items such as alcohol, tobacco or fireworks will set off the button because an employee has to enter the customer’s birthday. She revealed that the “call for help” button will also signal an employee if a customer tries to purchase an item that was recalled. They will likely take it away because it was never meant to be sold.
Camacho also mentioned there are many items that require an age check, such as spray paint, certain nail polishes and cold medicine.TikTok/obeygoddessShe discussed her own experience being denied buying super glue because she wasn’t old enough.There are also restrictions on movies so that a 13-year-old can’t get away with buying an R-rated movie.
