GIANT: A red-letter day in the self-service line

My self-service register at the Kennett Giant was cooperating wonderfully: it accepted the odd grocery bags I bring, all my fruits and vegetables registered correctly, and it didn't falsely accuse me of failing to bag any items. No unwanted "Help is on the way" screen appeared.
"Wow!" I said to the clerk. "It's working great today!"
"Don't say that," she mock-scolded me.
Miracle of miracles, my credit card went through perfectly on the first try. I shared the good news with the clerk.
"OK, now you've really jinxed us!" she said.
