It almost feels like you haven't been away. <br /><br />Self-scan checkouts tend to be fine unless you buy alcohol - in which case you need a late-teen supervisor giving you their password all the time. Given this, I can only assume you were mainly buying booze.

On th...Three weeks! Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.<br /><br />On the point, the Australian version is much the same. If they were being used by the justice department instead of retailers they'd be banned for being cruel and unusual punishment. The principle is incredibly simple, and I'm all for it, but the execution has been botched. The bloody things seem unable to cope with the weight variations when you use your own shopping bags, and since the ecomob have successfully bullied everyone into not using supermarket carriers the bloody machine is in a constant state of electronic dementia. And it's not much better if you only popped in for a carton of milk because you have to put the damn thing down on the till just to persuade it that you are actually fucking buying something. And just like in Sainsbury's all this takes place under a thousand prints of Jamie bloody Oliver's flaccid mug here it's a thousand pictures of Curtis Stone's shit eating grin (and if you haven't got Curtis Stone in the UK yet my advice is this: don't let the cunt in). And if's not the one with him in it's the one that plays their own fucking advertising jingle as muzak. At an annoyingly loud volume.<br /><br />So, like Nonny above, we do our shopping in Aldi and the markets. Cheaper, as good or better quality, and decent service, especially at the markets. The only thing the supermarkets have going for them is if you spend $30 you get petrol vouchers worth 4¢ off per litre. Is it worth the retail purgatory for a few dollars of a tank of petrol?

But the whole business model of a supermarket is based on reducing staff costs, compared to the old small shop. They reduce costs for the customer too, that's why I use em. You too. <br /><br />Mr Tesco doesn't love me, I don't love him. But we do business together. Voluntarily. We both get what we want. I aint bitching.<br /><br />Actually, my local Tesco seems to have a knack of finding staff who are good at pretending to be pleased to see me. That doesn't prove anything, I know.<br /><br />But I'll never use the self-serv. I'm an engineer, I don't trust machines with money, if I can avoid it. Actually, I like cash machines though. I haven't been in a bank for years. I'd rather go in Tesco ten times than a bank once. Dunno why. <br /><br />Anyway, Hi Obo. I don't like you much sometimes. You probably wouldn't like me much either.

I'm considering getting a shirt printed with "Don't even try and get me to use your self service tills". It'll save me the hassle of telling the soon to be redundant staff.<br /><br />As to the other comments - yes I probably could manage perfectly well by myself, BUT WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I???. If you take this to its logical conclusion we will just be wandering about a giant warehouse, and (probably) unloading the fucking trucks as well. <br /><br />Some of us are old enough to remember SERVICE, and that's what keeps customers coming back. As an example I wanted some more memory for my PC. I could have spent ages searching online and Ebay etc, but I used ORCA's memory scanner, then picked up the phone. I was answered in seconds (0800 number) by a real human being, gave him the details and the new part arrived the following morning.
