Self Service Tills

Went to Asda this morning, only one cashier at the tills, the queue was building. A woman comes over, would you like to go to the self service, no thankyou says I, you should have proper tills open. She asked the same question to the one behind me and got the same answer, then the third - same answer.
Shopping - its a nightmare

I usually end up talking back to them and arguing with them.

Well yes - a few mutterings from me too

Re: Self Service Tills

That reminds me of the days when petrol stations were becoming self service. I would drive around looking for a garage with attended service. My argument was, " They charge enough for the stuff, the least they can do is put it in the tank for you!"

Exactly.

When they were first installed a few years ago, the youngest grandaughter sat down in the bagging area, that was funny.

Re: Self Service Tills

I always find we have problem items so a member of staff has to help, when you point out if they opened more tills they could employ them on those and customers would be happier you get a blank stare. Really having it delivered to home is the easiest way to shop and IME the delivery chaps are fantastic and cannot do enough to help you. Such a contrast to the stores.

The worst thing about these tills is that customers often forget to take their change. I work in Tesco on customer service desk and the amount of money left at the tills is staggering and that's just the money that is handed over. Probably a lot more is taken by the next customer! All of this money is classed as lost property and handed to the police now what do you suppose the police do with it? So always always always make sure you take your change!
