Any lowly employee in a retail big box store. Commonly seen wearing colored polo shirts with name tags and khaki pants, carrying some sort of portable barcode scanning apparatus, such as a scan gun. Usual habitats include, but are not limited to: Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Old Navy, Shoe Carnival, and at one time, Blockbuster Video. The Scan Monkey is well-known for its constant screeches of sarcasm and passive-aggressive tendencies, particularly towards figures of authority and their customers.

Get the Throwing the scanmug. A machine used to purchase goods with out directly going to a cashier. Often requires reading a screen to tell you what to do next, but no one ever reads anything and starts screaming at the U-scan attendant.
"Damn that cashier looks pissed and her line is way too long, lets go to U-Scan."
Customer: "Excuse me it says please wait for the cashier"
U-Scan Attendant:"Yes sir you are the cashier this is U-scan, just hit the green enter button"
Customer:"No, it says im waiting for cashier"
U-Scan Attendant:"Yes and this is U-SCAN and you are the cashier, so just hit the enter button"
Customer:"So what do I do?"
Attendant bashes had off wall repetitively

Get the U-Scanmug. When you bring a date to your place and she scans your bathroom for evidence of another girl living with you.
Usually the search begins by looking for a second toothbrush.

Get the fat scansmug. Pronounced "Ki-ge"
This refers to the act of checking the popular buy & sell website "kijiji". Normally used by eccentric (poor and unkept) people, though also used by regular people and tight-ass-cheapo rich people looking to rip off poor unsuspecting folk (eccentrics). Recently in 2010-2011, along with craigslist it erased its personal categories due to social pressure, and its use for prostitution.
