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.

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

Zippy 14-06-2011 08:34 PM

self service

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

Kerry 14-06-2011 08:35 PM

How do they stop you nicking stuff?

Doogle 14-06-2011 08:35 PM

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.

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:

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. 14-06-2011 09:04 PM

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:

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.

Life In The Fast Lane.

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.

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

Vicky. 14-06-2011 11:32 PM

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 15-06-2011 01:46 AM

Self service because I'm scared of people.

King Gizzard 15-06-2011 01:48 AM

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.
