Printers, Scanning Food

[2006]

[Aajonus]

If you're too close, I have a laser printer.

[Attendee]

I'm about 5 or 6 feet away.

[Aajonus]

Not a problem. If you're within two feet of it while it's on, while you're copying, then it could be a problem.

[Attendee]

What about the laser?

[Aajonus]

When you have a laser machine, it seals it into the paper.

That's a better machine. You got a bubble jet, it gets into the air. I got laser for that reason. I don't want vapors flying in the air.

[Attendee]

What about those lasers at checkouts?

[Aajonus]

I don't let them scan my food.

[Attendee]

Really?

[Aajonus]

Yep. I say, please don't scan. If they have to weigh something, I have them put a plastic bag, with one in covering this part of the laser, and then the rest of the paper bag covering that, brown paper bag and that seals it in.

I personally put it on the scale and the glasse is here and the glasse is here and I put it right behind the glass, even though I've got it covered with the paper, I still put it behind the glass.

[Attendee]

Well, what about the milk?

[Aajonus]

I don't let them, I say, "Please don't scan this. Register by hand". There's this code number on there, on the barcode, and they have to put that in.

[Attendee]

How bad is it if we let them?

[Aajonus]

It's not too bad.

I had radiation therapy, 10 weeks of radiation therapy. So, if I let my food pass over for the week, I get nauseous by the end of the week.

So, I don't let them scan anything. Not even water.

Don't let them scan your meat, nor butter.

[Attendee]

What about celery?

[Aajonus]

Celery is is okay, it won't be a problem. Meat, butter, any kind of fat, you don't want to let them scan.

[Attendee]

What about the milk then?

[Aajonus]

Cream. You don't wanna let them scan, milk you don't wanna let them scan.

They just have to type the code in.

So, I always choose a non-busy time if I'm going to a regular store.
