Supermarket checkouts

I don't understand it either, scan it bag it and pay, i use scan and pay all the time and only get held up when they want a check on my shopping which is once in a blue moon. There are rarely more than a couple of people at the scan tills and always a colleague around.

We went to Tesco this morning to do a top up shop, arrived about 6.30. They normally don’t open until 8, but it’s nearly Christmas.

Only self service checkouts open, which we rarely use, got on ok, but still had to have an assistant come over as we had alcohol.

Prefer a manned checkout for a weekly shop though.

I'm the opposite - I would always opt for the self-service tills whenever I can. They're much easier and quicker to use in my experience.

I use the self-service for a few items in Aldi. A member of staff usually has to come to sort something out. I prefer however to use a traditional check out as once they start they’re very efficient.

Some of the larger supermarkets near us never have enough staff on them self service and I’ve complained on more than one occasion.

People a best imo

A matter of principle?

I hate self-service checkouts (except for one or two items) as something invariably goes wrong and I have to wait for a member of staff to sort it out!
