Why?

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.

Oh my God ikr? It sounds dirty in a way too if you think about it.

That and when she like starts yapping "HOLD ON THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THIS ITEM. I'LL JUST CONTINUOUSLY SCREAM THAT UNTIL EVERY MEMBER OF STAFF RUSHES OVER.".

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.

You are wise far beyond your years, joeysteele :-)

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.
