a shop filters dream

I was scan and go and lottery in asda and SO many people were on the rob in scan and go. Once I had to rescan a woman's shopping and she hadn't scanned any alcohol, meat or perfume and they just kick off at us leave the shop and come in another day on the rob again

When we rescanned her whole shop it was Ł300 odd quid and she had only scanned just under Ł100 of stuff its shocking

Seen it myself where there are tills with staff with no queue and they are all queueing for self scan, that should be enough to get the warning bells ringing for shop managers you would think

Yeah you'd think so but I am still friendly with people I worked with from there and management seem oblivious to it all

Perhaps having less staff means loss through theft is recouped from wages saved or something idk

Arrived at work and told the truth.

I'd rather just go to self scan cos it's less awkward conversations

But then someone always has to come over anyway cos it says I have an unidentified item in the bagging area when I don't

Haven't been sacked but I don't particularly get on with one of my managers. The other manager loves me though

I hate the self scan things, if I ever decide to go through them, it’s cause I’m in a rush, I might as well go to a human with the amount of time that’s wasted waiting for assistance

I preferred when self scan was literally just for people had a couple of items to fly through instead of queuing behind Mary with 3 trolleys.

But now it's all bloody self scan. Ridiculous.
