Some can be OK but only if every thing is pre-packed with a bar code but
in my experience there are too many retailers where they really haven't
thought through the process properly. Just watch how often the staff
member has to help out because the process isn't intuitive an/or
suddenly the item needs you to enter a menu system where obviously you
have previously used your crystal ball to find where the item is hidden.

I will use self service tills in some retail outlets but refuse to use
them in others that I know are crap.

Because that sees less spent on wages and so lower prices on the stuff you

I said that to the assistant manager in sainsbury when he asked me if I'd like to use the self service tills and I said no thanks. I said if they want me to use those tills it has to have some advantage to me, why don't 'you' offer a few extra nectar points for using the self checkouts.

If I want service in a shop, I'd use a local small one. Whole idea of a
supermarket is you largely DIY the thing. If you really want 'service',
have them deliver?
The reason I use a supermarket is the notion I'm getting the best price
rather than fawned upon by lackeys.

Which is one of the reasons I generally won't use self-service checkouts.

With most of those round here, you have the option of queueing up for a
checkout, or sailing straight through self service (I hardly ever shop at
busy times). I value time wasted in queueing more than putting one over on
the supermarket coffers.

I assume the shops which have self-service checkouts 'factor in' the
extra losses- no I'm not condoning theft, anything but, simply pointing
out the stores must have a 'feel' for the amount they lose.

Some stores have the 'scan as you go' system. We've not gone down this
route, no special reason, but I think you need to register. I've no idea
if they run any kind of checks.

We tend to use a couple of places- Tesco and Aldi, although more due to
their being local. Until the new Aldi opened, Tesco did better out of
us. Now we us more of a mix. We actually prefer Waitrose- more for their
range of items- they really aren't that much more expensive, but there
isn't one near us. We travel a lot in the UK and France and compare
supermarkets as cooking is something of a hobby. There are some good,
small chains around the UK. Booths spring to mind.

One thing I've not seen in Aldi- a food bank collection point. Other
supermarkets have them- even for pets- but not Aldi.

I've never quite understood those. You buy something in a store then
donate it to a food bank? Wouldn't money make more sense so the food bank
would have the money to buy what's most needed? Or, of course get given
stuff by the supermarkets once it's passed its sell by date.

Trouble is that number is straight from someone's arse, you can tell from

And what matters is if its less than the cost of the wages of the checkout
people
that would have had to be employed if there were no self checkouts.

They were the first to have barcodes and scanners that worked, Their
barcodes were bigger and longer, things just flew through with no
mistakes while other retailers were having to manually enter numbers all
the time, now the other retailers have caught up,probably the suppliers
gave others the same size barcodes.

I notice the latest generation of self-scan tills being re-fitted into
most supermarkets now are much better at scanning at wonky angles and at
decent speed of swiping, also they aren't powered by a lame hamster,
they still have XP though when you see them getting rebooted.

Another reason for self checkout. One queue - if there is one - for all
the checkouts. Reducing the chances of getting stuck behind one of those.

Now if there was one queue for all the manned checkouts, it would remove

For efficiency the belts have to be preloaded with the goods from the
next customer while dealing with the first.

The next customer would always be stuck behind the time waster. With
multiple checkouts it would still be a gamble that you are the next
customer on the wrong checkout having already committed to that checkout.

My experience with the local Express Tesco is that even with a single
queue and multiple people serving is that you will get 3 people with
their shopping and then they will all pull out 3 months of lottery
tickets for checking and then all want a mix of scratch cards or fags
from the secure cabinet and even then if they have the payment ready the
staff will ask them if they have loyalty card which results in more
searching of pockets/purses.

That's ok - the type of service you expect ****es off a lot of shoppers
in these stores.when delaying the checkout process.

You are not meant to pack at the checkout - you put the items back in
the trolley and then pack at the shelf area set aside for the purpose.

I suspect as it reduces staff costs because they need fewer staff that
other supermarkets will soon start adopting the same policies in order
to become more completive. Aldi/Lidl have proved that shoppers are more
than prepared to accept fast checkouts, no loyalty cards, no delays when
handing out useless bits of paper to support schools etc. Judging by the
number of expensive cars in Alsi/Lidl car parks these days its not only
the "poor" that use these stores.

That's ok - the type of service you expect ****es off a lot of shoppers
in these stores.when delaying the checkout process.

You are not meant to pack at the checkout - you put the items back in
the trolley and then pack at the shelf area set aside for the purpose.

Which is fine in theory, except you are now lifting stuff in and out of
the trolley twice.

"in your own good time" rather than all others' following....

Shurely if you only have a basket full you have to pack in real
time as there's no basket to put the stuff back in (as you've
left it at the start of the conveyor in the stack)?
