At a market I rarely use they have added controlled exits at the self-checkout area, you can only pass by presenting the QR code on your receipt. Which I didn't know, but hey, I'm a halfway decently adapted digital immigrant, so no prob, I know what to do. Yes prob. Doesn't work, gives me an error code, red light, and after three failed attempts the "sucker here" beep. Obnoxious coworker, IT guy, next to me: "You need to present the QR code on your receipt to the scanner", he's beeping himself out to freedom, visibly gloating. A friendly young shop assistant comes to assist me. Turns out you need to present the QR code at a very specific angle and in the correct distance range to the scanner. "Not a great system, lot of people [*quite the relief, I'm not the only stupid one*] your age [*ok... sigh...*] have trouble checking out."

In other words: bear with the boomer in front of you. They're trying. And next time, eventually, they'll get it.
