OH doesn't mind using the self scan checkout, l wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. The supermarkets that we go to, as we tend to go the same time and day, we have sussed out the till operators who are polite, exchange pleasantries and get on with it. I know it's a boring job. What drives me nuts is when they persist in having a conversation with the checkout operator behind me about their kids, what happened last night, their useless husband, etc. I have been known to stand there and wait for their undivided attention before l pay. Hello, remember me? I'm the customer. To be fair though, most of them are pretty good.
What I have learned though is when your kid is sat in the trolley seat and the checkout lady asks what his name is it's best not to say 'no idea he came with the trolley'.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I don’t mind the self service, but what I can’t stand is the blinking thing saying please place your item in the bag, after every single thing you show it.

Yeah I am too fast for you you useless thing. Red flashing beacon overhead. Horrible self service tills. They make it sound like you are trying to steal something. Turn the volume up and tell the whole store why don't you?
Won't use them unless there is no choice, or I only have literally one or two items and there are queues and I am in a hurry.
They have spent the last two weeks moving everything around in the store I use most. Back to online.... Home delivery though that is not without peril, is a real boon if you are ill or unable to get out.
How can a bag or an item of shopping be unexpected in the bagging area? What is expected? I've abandoned my shopping when I was berated by that nagging robot woman
Self service checkouts still require a person to authorise that you're old enough to buy non-alcoholic beer and if you buy kiddie Calpol along with adult paracetamol it flags you up as a suicide risk.

We must be lucky here. I can honestly say the checkout staff at my local Asda are generally excellent. The young folk especially. I did have an issue with one bloke a while ago though - who thought he knew better than me how to pack my shopping, and was always trying to wrap things in extra plastic bags. Must have been before they brought the charges in though - he'd have been getting his ar*e felt by his superiors if he was giving them away !
I also don't mind the selfscan ones now. Maybe I'm just weird
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
