I just had a bad experience again with these sinister things. I was at a huge Canadian chain trying to buy some vacuum bags. Easy? Hardly. There were lots of self-serve checkouts but were there any check out PEOPLE??? I stood in a line for ages only to find out just as I was getting close to the actual person that this line was for Barbara Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08539568823729411002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170423875365707527.post-60623143960818994382011-02-08T23:24:25.936+00:002011-02-08T23:24:25.936+00:00As promised, I just read your FUNNY (at least 7 la...As promised, I just read your FUNNY (at least 7 laughs) "Shopping At Sainsbury's". I sure wasn't disappointed this time either. I avoid the self-checkout stuff too. I tried it a few years ago and decided it was NOT for me! My particular store with the self-checkout had its own flaw - credit cards would never work unless you wrapped them in a plastic shopping bag, tried it at Barbara Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08539568823729411002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170423875365707527.post-74807563000018810592011-02-07T20:41:35.958+00:002011-02-07T20:41:35.958+00:00I hate those self service tills.

I always think they are there to do people out of a job but am intrigued by rachel's suggestion that this whole idea has been sabotaged by undercover staff.

I think they're a compromise between managers who thought they could save millions by getting us to do our own checkout work, and staff who could see the writing on the wall for their jobs. Result: a self-service system that requires twice as many staff to keep it moving as the old-style checkout ever did.<br /><br />I didn&#rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474723200653576051noreply@blogger.com
