Supermarket Self Checkouts:

Do you avoid them or are you a fan?

I avoid at all cost. Not enough space for goods, no room to park trolley to unload, infuriating voice (always female) stating "Unidentified item in bagging area".

If I have one or two items, none of which require any age authorisation I will use them. Otherwise prefer to see a person

Hate them, and why is that 75% of the items I need someone to attend. As I wanted to pass through an Asda quickly the other day, with one item, I chose the automatic tills, to then find that 90% of them word "card only".

The supermarkets must love them 'cos it means that you do all the work yourself and none of the staff have to, so they can reduce the manpower.

Hate them, I avoid them like the plague, I've tried them twice and.....Computer says No! I ended up just leaving the shopping there and went to Aldi on both occasions as I'd lost the will to live.

Another way for employers to get staff to do more for less a great way to reduce costs and pass savings to investors, if you have ever wondered why Britain is least productive of the so called strong economies there is your answer in part at least, work people like dogs give them as little as you can get away with employ an army for so called human resources dept to make sure staff have legally no say in anything and sit back and enjoy the benefits.

I'm not sure they do people out of a job, I don't use them because they are rubbish. Every other item seems to send them crazy, although sainsburys are pretty good.

"Savings passed to investors", don't forget that the large investors are the Pensions companies and they pay some of us.
