also not completely clear on the concept

Very chatty checkout lady at the supermarket. Chatting so much to the woman in front of me that she absent-mindedly lifted up the "Next Customer Please" thingy1 and started adding my groceries to the other customer's. Then there was a problem with the credit card swipe, so she had to key in the card number by hand, during which she uttered the following gem:
...these are really difficult to type in, you have to get all the numbers exactly right, not like those barcodes...
Er, yes. Quite. Just scan my stuff already, eh?

1. Dunno what you call these things. It's a little plastic doohickey that you put on the checkout conveyer to separate your stuff from the next/previous custmer.
