Women, mainly women, who have spent time waiting in line at a normal till, had all their items scanned through and THEN and only then, starting to look for something to pay for it with, and THEN do the same with coupons.
Is there any valid reason why you cant do that whilst you are waiting?

"Little things that grind your gears?
Customers who don't scan properly hence the "unexpected item in the bagging area" lol "
not always the case ..if you put very light items such as powdered sauce mixes in the machine sometimes does not recognise it |

People who WILL NOT put anything on the belt until the 'next customer' thing is in place or freak and throw one at me when I load my stuff on. It winds me up so much, I'm starting to avoid going to supermarkets. |

Or if you hold one item for too long as it doesn't scan first time as the barcode doesn't work properly.
Online Job hunting is mine. What's wrong with the procedure we had before when looking for work? Companies are still making hundreds of millions, even billions of pounds a year profit. So why change things   |

Red call at the checkout. Only when there's a monster queue at each one. 
To be fair though the woman in our local Tesco says it in such a funny way it just makes me smile  |

Some people put a divider after their shopping. Some don't. Its not a big deal. If they don't do it. The next customer should. Its no bother for anyone. The only time something happens is if one person is unloading their shopping on the belt and then the customer behind them does the same too before the previous customer has finished unloading theirs. |

She's following tesco policy of challenge 25. If you look under it. You will get ID'd to prove you're over 18. Also she has to be 18 by law to sell it anyway. So I doubt tesco would have put her on a checkout of she was 17. Maybe she just looked that young or was 18.
Also bosses watch colleagues to and warn them. So maybe she was being more vigilante because of that.

I bought a bottle of whisky in a presentation box and went through the self-checkout. The assistant did the confirm I was 18 thing but the idiot totally forgot to top remove the security tag that was hidden inside the box so I set the alarm off and I had to fetch her again to prove I'd paid for it as I didn't bother picking up the receipt. I felt like a right criminal |

To the people who complain about the self scan checkouts. Beware they are replacing regular checkouts with more self scan ones. Difference is these new self scams have conveyor belts, which is designed for your weekly/monthly shop. |

"They do put under 18s mm the till but the have to get a supervisor or appointed person to confirm transaction for things like booze  "
I knew supermarkets did that a few years back, but thought they stopped that now. Ah well learn something new everyday. |

"Don't get me started about these self service tills, fucking twatting,cunting waste of time...grrrrrrr "
The more they are used. The more chance of normal tills being replaced with them as its all target based. |

And whilst you're still queuing and there's still a checkout not in use by a staff member. There is someone standing there with a "space here" sign. If they were on a till, the queues will be a lot less if they worked hard enough. |

"I work in a supermarket. When I'm on the self scans some people don't have a fucking clue even when I try and explain what to do, they completely ignore me and wonder why they're fucking up. Self Scans should not be used by idiots! Also it annoys me when people expect ME to put their shopping through the self scans FOR them. It's called self scans for a reason
Another thing people moaning "I don't like using
these" then why use them in the first place? I did not force you to come and use it!!! "

The hand held baskets annoy me at checkouts. People don't stack them neatly and leave handles up and the next basket won't slot in properly then so a new pile is started.
I have to sort it and do it neatly because I couldn't just throw a basket onto the pile so it doesn't stack properly. |

"The git (normally in a suit) with a trolley load that heads for the express checkout knowing that if he makes a fuss he will be served.
But he is not half as bad as the twat that pushes in front of some little old lady who's left a gap so that those who need to can pass when he or she has just looked at the queue and seen it goes half way up the isle! "
I dunno where Moston is but I find it hard to believe 1) that people behave like that and 2) that others let them away with it. |

Did you watch any of the BBC docudrama People Like Us? Set in Harpurhey Manchester? It was more documentry than drama! That's my local Asda. My neighbors think I'm mad because I wont stand for the sort of crap that goes on round here! I regularly see a guy standing in front of Asda's main entrance selling knockoff cigarettes and the security and police are very conspicuous by their absence!
I know its off subject but I once (about 3 years ago) went to the aid of a guy who had been beaten up at about 2/3 in the morning. Called the police and they sent an unmarked armed response unit to deal with my call to them. When they arrived I told them that I had seen nothing (the truth), but because of the state this guy was in I had stayed to help. When I offered my address the officers bundled me away from this guy I had helped "because I could be placing myself at risk if he overheard my address!"
Have you ever heard the like of that?  |

To be fair here, every time I walk past the self scan area the assistants there do try and encourage you to use them, sometimes annoyingly, telling you that the main tills are busy, grabbing the front of your basket and trying to manoeuvre you into the self scan area. So in effect they are forcing you to use them.
I don't like them because every time I seem to, and I put money into the machine, the soddingoney keeps coming out again. |

Tbh yes our supervisors ask us to encourage customers to use them. I however don't. If a customer wanted to use it I'm sure they'd be more than capable to use it themselves. |

well im sorry but the supermarkets do force you to use them, as most of the other check outs are usualy unmaned, and the ones that are have a massive que. so most of the time there isnt an option, hateful things, but im sure they are here to stay, i think you should get a discount for using them, after all your doing the shops job for them, saving them money"
Look on the post above you.
A discount for using them?! Lol yeah right. Some people love them, some people hate them. |

You're right, women are terrible for this, however men are getting to be like it as well. |

What I don't like is being forced to use them - some supermarkets and local type branches now shut their staffed tills at certain points, and make you use them. I don't like putting people out of work, and prefer appropriate staffing.
As for when used, they just don't cope well with light items, and you then wait around for ages, whilst an assistant comes to clear the error. |

Exactly. So when they print off their customer tally at the end of the day. It shows people love using them. Otherwise why would it have so many customers at the same time using them. Basically its because they shut normal tills as you said. So you have a choice wait a few minutes at a normal till, try and scan them yourself or go elsewhere. People say they are great if you only use a few items. However those self scan tills they go through are the modern ones where the till is designed to to a normal shop like the other tiles. So the more times you use it. The more chance there is of replacing all the tills with them. What you said about people being put out of work ins correct no matter what they say as no overtime or staff replacements come in since they have been here. All staff know this on he checkouts, but can't say as its running down the company and they have to advertise it as their bosses tell them to. |

Better still. Boycott them and if a colleague tries getting you to use self scan. Say you want to chat to the colleague that's on the normal checkout. They are only here to stay because some people think its a great idea. Despite not knowing the facts. |
