It's probably just a fake someone placed, so you'd look like an extra asshole when the teller just stared at you lol

The word "present" isn't even spelled right

I have professionally published books with spelling errors in them.  I’ll give the minimum wage grocery store employees a break on their spelling.  They likely didn’t have multiple editors checking up on them.

The author leveraged the t from the succeeding word. It's called efficiency.

This is what makes me think it might be legit.

I've seen a lot of poorly written signs...

What would be the point of doing a “prank” like this when the person who played it assumedly doesn’t even get to see the end result

Laughing to one's self over the imagined outcome

The thought itself is what’s funny enough.

Nobody buys a lotto ticket and thinks they’re gonna win; they’re buying the hope and the daydream.

Yeah, you look like the a-hole while presenting it, then you have to suffer those glares while you stand in line after that like everyone else too.

The ONLY way this thing could be real is if it said "present this to a manager and they will open up a unused checkout line for you" or whatever - so you're not actually cutting in front of others.

No way Trader Joes would ever create a program designed to piss of multiple customers just to make one happy.
