Self-serve or a human being?

[Shaun]

Which do you prefer to use? :spin2:

[Z]

Self service because I'm socially awkward.

[seanraff07]

Human being. There's always something wrong with the self-serve they do my head in.

[onlinebigbrother12344]

shop assistant... im one! wouldn want to be put out of a job!

[Tom4784]

Shop assistant, I'm quite awkward but I hate dealing with those machines.

[Ninastar]

human being because im a lazy ass ho

[Lee.]

Self service.. I'm quicker than the humans and I like to pretend I'm a checkout girl. :)

[Lewis.]

Self service - much more exciting.

[Rob]

If it's at lunch at Morrisons i find it quicker to go self service

[Jack_]

Self-service, they're cool :amazed:

[Ninastar]

Self service.. I'm quicker than the humans and I like to pretend I'm a checkout girl. :)

it would be so amazing if you said "That would be £10.50 please" "Thank you" out loud to yourself

[ILoveTRW]

if you sit on your hand for 10 minutes before self service its feels like a normal checkout.

[Lee.]

I do! :amazed:

[Josy]

Self service.

[Locke.]

Self service because the ques are usually shorter

[Shaun]

if you sit on your hand for 10 minutes before self service its feels like a normal checkout.

:nono: don't be dirty.

[Princess]

Self service but we don't have ones where you can do self service for a big shop, just 10 items.

['Conor]

Self service, because everyone does be in the que for the checkouts so theres never any one at the self service :love:

[Jack_]

if you sit on your hand for 10 minutes before self service its feels like a normal checkout.

This is about the fifth time I've re-read this...I get it now :joker:

Look Devon Spunky Boy

Time Is Money

which ever is faster.






Feel The Force.

[Ramsay]

self service
the other one is just too awkward

[joeysteele]

Humans at the checkouts I would rather go to, I get mad at the self serve things and the wifie who screams place item in the bagging area and please insert cash or card does my head in at those machines.

They near always go wrong when I use them anyway so I prefer to queue but that can be also very annoying.

[Niall]

Self service because I'm socially awkward.

:worship:

[GypsyGoth]

Self service :love:

[Kerry]

If I tried self service I'd get in a kerfuffle and need help anyway :bawling:

PMSL. You're not right in the head Happy.... !! :joker:

I prefer the humans!!

[GypsyGoth]

I usually have my ipod in and I just take my time, I'm pretty much oblivious to everyone, also I think I'm getting more confident at them.

[Jordan.]

Self service until that hag screams out 'UNEXPECTED ITEM IN THE BAGGING AREA' and everyone looks :bored:

[Zippy]

self service

I love running items over the infa red and getting a beep. Plus Ive become really speedy at it.

[Kerry]

How do they stop you nicking stuff?

[Doogle]

Self-services unless I'm with friends.

The other day I was being all mature n stuff and doing it and then my 3 friends run screaming over with like 100 items and like break the machine.

No wonder old people hate my generation.

[Lee.]

How do they stop you nicking stuff?

By the weight of the stuff in your bags.

The first time I ever used it I was standing with a scanned item in my hand whilst trying to scan another one... it was telling me to put the scanned item in the bag... I was totally like :amazed: and checking the floor and moving about as I thought it had weighed me and knew I still had something in my hand! :blush:

Yep, I'll stick to assistants :joker:

plus security have close up camera shots and also a multi display screen with all the self serve checkout displays on them. This is in the bigger stores mostly.

[KG.]

Human, because generally I leave the shop in a better mood than faffing about with the annoying self service ones :laugh:

Kinda defeats the object if they're manned by cameras anyway

You'd better be joking! That means they could easily see me putting my peppers through as onions! :shocked:

[Zippy]

well they dont have one person watching each self serve till

they have one person watching one screen with several self serve tills on it. Then if somebody looks suspicious they focus in on that person and check that the items on camera match whats listed on their screen.

Buggered if a gang goes in then

Ah right.. they'd never suspect me :angel:

That drives me mad,arista, I spend longer there than in a queue and getting through a normal checkout,plus I don't really like to support the self serve checkouts as it's obvious they are closing normal checkouts and therefore staff may be eventually losing their jobs because of them.

[Visage]

50/50

It all depends on where I am and what I am doing.

[Vicky.]

Until today, I would definitely have said self service, I usually find I am a lot quicker than the checkout people.

However, I used the ones in morrisons for the first time and nearly actually screamed at the thing this afternoon. They are ****ing awful. everywhere else they are fine.

[CharlieO]

Self service because I'm scared of people.

[King Gizzard]

Human being as long as theyre over 40 and female. I genuinely look down the checkouts till I find one. Checkout people your age or thereabouts is so awkward.

Not all checkouts
just 30% in most cases

[joeysteele]

Not all checkouts
just 30% in most cases

I didn't say all checkouts but I can see the day that may happen,the ASDA store I use where I am at present, has 32 checkouts,it always had well over half operating up to last year, now they have 24 self serve checkouts and rarely more than 10 of the normal ones operating.

30% however is nearly a third, and that over the Country is a fair number of people not seen to be needed now as only 1 and at best 2 people stand with the self service ones to assist..... eventually.

[Niall]

Self service until that hag screams out 'UNEXPECTED ITEM IN THE BAGGING AREA' and everyone looks :bored:

Oh my God ikr? It sounds dirty in a way too if you think about it. :laugh2:

That and when she like starts yapping "HOLD ON THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THIS ITEM. I'LL JUST CONTINUOUSLY SCREAM THAT UNTIL EVERY MEMBER OF STAFF RUSHES OVER.". :bored:

[Livia]

I never use self-service, I already have a job.

Supermarkets already make a massive profit, now they want to cut people's jobs and have us do the work for free? I don't think so.

[Niamh.]

hahahahaha, this!! scanning the stuff never gets old:joker:

That's what I think too,I don't have a job as such being at Uni but I do see the self service checkouts as doing the Stores work free for them.

[Jords]

Self service :D

You are wise far beyond your years, joeysteele :-)

[Zippy]

Doing their work for them? Running an item over the glass is hardly work. In fact its no harder than loading it onto a cashtill conveyor belt and then bagging it yourself at the bottom end. Easier if anything because you put them straight into the bag. Plus you can check that the right prices come up.

But the part about losing jobs is a valid point.
