Re: supermarkets self service check outs
Jazzi can't do that it offends them, wonder if they can, our big issue lady can't spell her name in her own language, she wanted something put aside in the shop and being dyslexic I make everyone write their own names on the things they want to return for and she couldn't

Re: supermarkets self service check outs
I find that the self service checkouts often take as much time as waiting in a queue. They need an assistant to help so many times I wonder if it is worth it. Don't like the idea of these checkouts taking jobs from those who need them either...................Not for me but I am one of those people who hates change anyhow.15-11-2013, 08:58 PM

Re: supermarkets self service check outs
Twice now my daughter has advised me to use those things in Sainsbury's and twice we ended up calling for help and taking longer than if we'd waited in the queue!Tesco now have "self scanners" great for keeping an eye on your spending but, not if you forget to scan every other item!

Re: supermarkets self service check outs
Fortunately I shop at Lidl (except for the occasional one at Tesco whilst I'm in for my ciggies) and they don't have self-service checkouts so the only option is the old fashioned way.I can see why they have self-service and if they actually worked flawlessly they'd be great, but they DON'T!
The wife used one one day back at Christmas time last year when she was just in for a few odds and sods and when she got back to the car she looked exhausted. Apparently it wouldn't accept any one of the three £10 notes she had in her purse (all in good condition) and when she tried to pay with change (£1 coins) it kept rejecting them also.
Bloody ridiculous it was - she's not used one since.
