Logan: Where are you going?
Marie: To pay… we can’t very well steal these groceries.
Logan: Says you, but how the Hell is staring at a giant computer gonna get that done?
Jean: It’s automated.
Logan: Okay…
Scott: The ‘giant computer’ scans the items, you give it money and you go about your day… no cashier needed.
Logan: No cashier huh?
Marie: Nope. Oh wait, we’ve got more than 12 items.
Logan: So?
Marie: The blinky light thing says ‘12 items or less’.
Scott: Well… no one’s looking…
Jean: God, I love it when you break the rules! *kisses Scott madly*
Logan and Marie: … *crickets chirp in the distance*
Marie: Right. So I guess we’ll just do it anyway. *swipes card*
Automated Voice: Welcome to Stop&Shop, you are a valued customer.
Logan: What the fuck? Did that thing just talk?
Marie: Yeah… so?
Logan: So? It. Talked.
Marie: That happens.
Automated Voice: Please scan your first item.
Logan: I don’t fuckin’ like it.
Marie: You don’t have to, it’s just here to lessen the staff’s workload. *scans item* Oh score… saved eighty cents!
Automated Voice: Please scan your next item.
Logan: And why does it have to be a guy?
Marie: I don’t know, it just is.
Logan: Well, I don’t like how it talks to you.
Marie: *turns away from scanner* For the love of God Logan! It’s a machine!
“Automated Voice”: Please scan you next item. By the way, you look hot today Rogue.
Logan and Marie (stunned): WHAT?!
Scott: Gotcha’!

Author's Chapter Notes:
Had I thought of it at the time, this fic would instead be the end of ‘Two X-couples Go Grocery Shopping’. BTW, I find that the most mundane tasks are much better when the X-Men foursome go through it.
