but other will not......

Cutting their costs

[Customer Experience Managers were also facing the axe
at its 226 largest stores.
The UK's largest supermarket chain said the 1,700 people affected
would be able to apply for 900 new jobs with "broader remits".]

Bet they just shove in a bunch more of the ridiculous 'unexpected item in bagging area' type machines instead of paying people to do checkouts :bored: I hate those machines with a passion and whoever invented them needs to go straight to hell.

:laugh2:

What are those?

I´m not sure we have them?

Oh, on the self checkout system?

I think only one store in our area has one.

Lucky you. All the stores here have them. Except for Iceland.

And the staff always seem top try and push you towards them. Been waiting in queues so often and the staff have 'helpfully' said that the self service ones are free. I kind of give them a death stare and say thanks but I prefer to wait. Once they continued to try and get me to move to one and Gavin started shouting 'UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA, PLEASE REMOVE THIS ITEM BEFORE CONTINUING!!' and that finally got the message across :D

we use the gun thing and beep as we shop that way you know what you have spent and there is no waiting or no "unexpected item" bolloxio




Tesco just working the numbers to stay ahead

good the ones at the store I worked at were horrible bitches

literally just a chav in a suit with manager on the badges

People strangely think that going to the self service till is always quicker, there was a long line at my Sainsburys the other day so I walked down the line of tills and two of them had just one person with a few items, I was out the door and the idiots were still waiting in the line :facepalm: the staff on the tills were rolling their eyes and says it happens a lot!

i'm way passed bothering to go to a supermarket when i can get the stuff delivered straight to my door. It has the added bonus of being able to complain to the driver from the comfort of my own door way and shutting it with a satisfying slam

I never get "unexpected item in bagging area". I always have it taking forever to scan each item because it says it can't detect the item I just scanned in the bagging area.

So, I click "I don't want to bag this item" to shut it up and then the light starts flashing "Please wait for assistance..." :rant:

Me too. I hate them... When someone invites me to use one of their self-checkout machines I say thanks, but I've already got a job.

:joker:

Tbf, they have got silly.

They are useful as a way to sort out the customers who only have a couple of quick items from the people doing big shops on busy days.

But now everyone's queuing for them with bloody big ass trolleys. :umm2:

Oh that's a great one.
I may use that myself if you don't mind.

I really dislike those checkouts.

No whoever invented them is a genius... how else would you buy 5 red peppers for the price of two onions? :laugh:

Another favey trick is when they have half price Ben and Jerry's ice cream but only certain flavours, and you want two flavours but only one of them is half price, so you scan the half price one - put the non half price one in the bag - then scan the half price one again.

Absolute ****ing renegade :dance:

I'm disgustingly honest at the self checkouts. I even scan my bag like a good customer. :(

You're a theif if you do this.

i before e except after c! :nono:

I'm a wot? I'm a wizard? But I'm just Harry...

That's the second time you've made me blurt out laughing with a "you're a wizard, Harry..." comment.

Of course, Potter wouldn't be stealing Ben and Jerry's.....

I was going to show the video to my daughter, then re-watched it and realised that it's going to be several years before she can watch it :joker:.


He'd be stealing "butterbeer" because that whole Potter crowd are a bunch of teenage alcoholics!

The things you realise when you re-read the books with an 8 year old. "WTF these 12 year olds are blatantly getting wasted on magic beer..."

Then there's the little Irish one who tries to turn his drink into rum. But that's to be expected.

LMAO... OOOooo you're dead.

It's not me it's J.K. Rowling! Or possibly, Warner Brothers... I can't remember if it's in the book or just the movie :think:

"Oie of raaabbit, harp string hoom, turn me wahter, into rum!"

Eye of rabbit, heart string hum... honestly TS, I wouldn't mind if he wasn't speaking English. I'll have to ask Niamh is she's offended by JK Rowling presenting the whole Irish nation as alcoholics.

One of the kids was a West Ham supporter in the books. Overlooked entirely in the films. Class discrimination. I'm not offended right now but I'm working up to it.
