what is the bloody point in having self service checkouts that are ( supposed ) to be quicker than queing at the regular checkout ??

1st off the scales dont bloody work properly , then they often reject notes , then you still need the assistant to come over & punch in some code so you can carry on scanning your goods , so my point is by the time you,ve done all this about 5 people have already been served at the regular checkout !!!!

They are a pain in the arse, I'm quite traditional so I much prefer an overweight 50 year old woman with permed hair to price up my food, which is why I go to the normal checkouts.

I didn't like 'em at first but once you get used to them they're ok. I always pay with me card so haven't tried putting cash in yet!!

Totally agree, they have them to reduce the number of staff, but yet most have a helper/staff member standing beside them. They also make you feel like a retard when you cant figure out why something is missing.

Yeah, you spin round to see if someone is there to help, they see you looking at them................ "are you alright", then come up to you with a piece of plastic and scan it, press one button..................."there you go" and then walk off

Most times im fine, its just when the machines dont work properly

It's funny when you scan an item, put it on the scales and it says "Unexpected item in bagging area" so you remove it and it says "Item removed from bagging area please replace it before continuing"

i always use the normal checkouts! except when they refused to sell me alcohol because i had my younger brother with me and we count as a group apparently! then i went self service!

I love them personally,you just need to take a bit of care with them really,they can't go as fast as we can unfortunately.

My missus is totally useless on them,tries moving the bag around which fucks the reading up,tries to keep shopping when the red lights on,puts her card in before actually selecting card payment etc etc.

I think it's morrisons ones,but they can be very sneaky when they ask you to select own bags or not first!!!wankers,you get the old biddy over then talking to you like a fucking 2 year old!!!!

morcheen

bloke at the co-op tried to knock me for a tenner change today. !!!!

Fuck sake, get with the times you prehistoric mongs.

Ginge !

thats cause your scanning a tin of devon custard,,,,,,,, and placing a 50 ins plasma tv in the bagging area you dodgy fooker !!! pmsl

I don't like them.

They do have just one member of staff per 2/4 self service tills, but with the cost of implementing it - payback must be years...

Shite idea that just annoys customers.

Ginge !

i find it ironic that the self service during lunch time has a bigger que than the normal checkouts,,,,,,, and when them morons fuck them up and cause the delay you just wanna go over to them and give them a smack in the mouth

OH and they should also be card use only,,,,,,,, fucking hate them tossers who scan everything and then take a extra 20 mins searching for all of there change to pay for it then discover thier little kids piggy bank wasnt enough so then hunt for a note,,,,, spend another 5 mins forcing the fucking thing in there to FINALLY pay by card,,,, by that time my apples have gone off and the grapes i fancied are now rasins

next we will be stocking the fucking shelves for the supermarkets

Ginge !

mate do you realise how much money per hour goes in tescos till,,,, if you had a gauge it would be like watching "childrens in need"

oh and not to mention 24 hours a day the machines work ( well 3/4's of them as there is ALWAYS one of them out of service ) and they never go on holiday, call in sick ( well one of them does pmsl) and never take breaks and when they stop working hard and are unreliable,,,,,, no need to call up HR and plot a way to get rid of them,,,,,,, you just take out the plug

oh and its tax deductable aswell

If you are unable to operate a self service checkout then you should be removed from the genepool tbh.

BM08

Be careful, you could have been had for shop lifting.

What exactly does the receipt say on it? i cant imagine it says how much money you gave and how much change(if any) was given because you never even put any in there? must have been blank with the shop name and address?
