I find the waiting time in checkout queues at Tesco

exceed those in the German discounters

Very rarely queue in our Sainburys - click and go.

See keeping on DIY topic. :-)

Yes pay more as I don't thieve, apparntly 1 in 5 do
and it's increasing sometimes difficult,to detect

Bull****.

That was a comment about your stupid "it's increasing

Just because some ****wit journo working for one of Murdoch's
****
rags
claims something...

And what matters to the supermarket is whether they
lose more with the self checkouts than they would
lose paying the wages of all the monkeyed checkouts.

Lose has nothing to do with it they are looking at profit margins.

What matters to the supermarket is whether what gets stolen
with the self checkouts is greater than the effect on profits
of paying the wages of all the monkeyed checkouts.

Someones got to refill the shelevs after the stuffs been stolen

And after it has been paid for too.

Stuff that get taken from the shelves and not paid for you mean.

Nope, stuff that has been sold and paid for as it should be.

and what happens is the checkout monkeys are replaced with security
staff,

Doesnt happen here. There is just one monkey
checking all 15 self checkouts instead of far more
monkeys monkeying the monkeyed checkouts.

So they put prices up to cover the loses,

And lose sales when anyone with a clue buys from their competitors.

why should they care you're paying for it.

Not when you buy from their competitors.

which cost more

Costs much less because there is only one of those.

but stuff is being stolen far more than the
cheap labour for checkout monkeys costs.

BULL****.

More and more seem to be doing it as they 'sense'
others are doing it, it then becomes allmost normal.

Single digit percentage aint anything even remotely like normal,
****wit.

since when has 16% been classed as single digit ?

https://www.news.com.au/finance/busi...c0491ed9825dda

Just because some ****wit journo working for one of Murdoch's ****
rags
claims something...

costing the sector $3.37 billion in the 2017-18 financial year.

Still single digit percentage of their turnover, ****wit.

$3 billion is still quiet a bit of money

So is what gets paid to the checkout monkeys.

and they can refill the shelevs.

So can the monkey who watches the self checkouts.

It takes more than one to keep supermarket stocked.

Clearly doesnt.

https://www.smartcompany.com.au/indu...eft-australia/

That operation is flogging their services, stupid.

Clearly Woolys have decided that self checkouts save them money
given that they have just rebuilt my local with 3 times as many
of
them and have eliminated all the conveyor manned checkouts.

Probbaly a dumb decision made years ago

Nope, just been rebuilt a month ago now.

Yes a dump decision made years ago,

Taint a dumb decision when it costs less than the
wages of all those checkout monkeys it replaces.

If it does.

Corse it does when there is just one monkey for
all the selfcheckout who is paid the same as the
monkeys operating the monkeyed checkouts.

checkout monkeys are cheap, a couple of tins of salmon or a 12 pack of
beer an hour.

Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you usually manage
with all the monkeys monkeying the monkeyed checkouts.
