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.

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.

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.
