Do you use the Self Service Checkouts when you are in the supermarket?
I hate them, have tried using them a few times and always get the dreaded 'please wait for assistance' message ![]() |

I'm a master of them (work in retail) but they're still useless pieces of trash.

Only use it if I'm buying like one or two items quickly and there's a long queue
Not worth it normally because I can't be bothered to pack my items myself and by the time its messed itself up about five times and had to have the assistant sort it out you might as well have just queued up at the normal checkout |

..I got the unexpected item yesterday and the assistant came straight over and it was because I had put my purse down on the shelf thing so that I could put the items in more easily..

I use them in tesco because they seem better than the morrisons ones. But if it's really busy in morrisons I'll go for their self-service too. They're easy to get the hang of.

There is no need in Aldi as the checkouts are the fastest in retail

I always use them, I make a big deal out of how good I am at working on at a checkout, to make them want to give me a part time job. It never works though haha, but seriously I find them fun, I hate just standing and waiting around ;(

Same with me.
I find it more efficient to scan my own items. |

But if you only have a basket they make you leave it at the start of the checkout, meaning you have to stuff everything in your carrier bags in a few seconds flat as they are chucking it at you

For a start they only ever have 1 or 2 checkouts open and the queues are ridiculous also if you have a basket then you need to leave it at the end of the belt then carry all of your shopping over to the shelf after it's put through the till/scanner and if you don't do it Flash Gordon style then the checkout assistants get right pissed off at you and also I took my basket through one time to make it easier and the checkout woman got really mad and I was told 'Never bring your basket through the checkout again' ![]() I like aldis but the way they make you checkout is horrible. |

I hate the 'quick tills' and would happily smash the feck out of one with a bat.

I'd rather go through the main till and keep someone in a job than doing the job for them for free

Yes so would most tbh but these days most supermarkets that have the self service checkouts only have one or two normal tills operating because of them.

Thereby forcing people to serve themselves. More supermarket tactics to reduce their wage bill and increase profits. I'd rather wait 10 minutes, give it another 5 years and the big shop will be self service as well.
