Self service tills in supermarkets.

I prefer them but I can see why the older generation doesn't. Its because they can't have a natter and give their life story to the checkout person like they do on the tills, taking forever to bag a tin of garden pees and then want to pay the entire 75p in copper and vouchers with the checkout person counting it out for them. Without self-service tills, people like me who just want to grab some lunch and get out have to wait for ages.

And it is because of this that they are there. If there were more tills with operators then there would be less queues. You are doing someone out of a job and increasing supermarket profits.
 
Much better.

don’t have to que for f*ckin ages whilst some granny decides to buy her months shopping in one hit and your standing there with a few items.

Don’t have to watch the service person fanny around, scanning and chucking the items in a small space for you to pack.

Don’t have to be polite, or talk, or smile.
 
This is the end game isn't it? Cashless, no customer assistants just pick up what you want and leave the store and you get charged by the cloud.


He should have bought the alcohol instead of putting it back on the shelf, he was buying a sanitary product for his partner, there was fuck all else for him to do that night, may as well have a drink.

I am with you, it used to infuriate me when the cashiers started chatting to each other and treated you as the invisible man.

I can now check I am being charged correctly with each item I scan, put them straight into the shopping bags and be out of the store in the shake of a lambs tail.
 
You will be using your phone to scan items as you shop in the near future. You will place your bag on a scale on the way out,, and they will use Smart CCTV to catch thieves. if the retailer uses RFID you will be able to register your payment preference and they will just charge you as you walk out of the door, no need to scan items.

Very true, I’m split on this, but some of the old ones probably need someone to talk to and get full value for their money with vouchers. They can be a bit needy but give them a smile and the benefit of the doubt, you have no idea about their situation, it maybe the only conversation they have that day.

I'd have thought RFID would play into shoplifters hands mate ? But I don't know this. Always dodgy skank faced scrotes knocking about pubs trying to sell stuff cheap to pay for their drug addiction.
