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

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

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

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

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.
