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.

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.

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.

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.
