Oh I hate those machines. Being told of and so little room to pack. That every time you move a bag or try just to make a wee bit of room you are told of.  |

I do admit to have a little giggle sometimes when I see it happen to someone else though  |

There and to the left a bit |
My latest peeve with the ones in Tesco are when you have loose fruit or veg and have to select what type it is - the machine says "Pick a favourite or have a browse" - what the heck's that about? Are they saying you can pick apples when you're buying oranges because you happen to favour apples?! And why would you want to browse, when you know what you're buying?! |

The stress of finding the correct fruit or vegetable. Took me ages to find Ginger once  |

"And if you put things in the bag gently rather than lobbing them in from a great height it gets grumpy because it can't feel anything."
Lobbing biscuits in the bag from a great height is a bad idea lol |

I feel sorry for the staff who have to keep running over to the machine, swiping their card and putting a code in every time you scan a new item, it must do their heads in! And how many checkout staff lost their jobs to these machines when they came in? |

I don't think checkout staff would have lost their jobs as there are still plenty of normal tills open. I do kinda feel sorry like you say for those poor staff who have to swipe their card all the time lol |

I started an experiment once with mascara- too light for the maschiene to register. tried different forces to throw it in the bag so it would register.

Before Morrisons changed their self-service tills they used to tell me there was an unexpected item in the bagging area before I'd even scanned the first item. |

Once stood next to an exasperated Mum mum shouting "it's a toddler in the bagging area, a toddler" at the checkout as she struggled with a small child who kept leaning on it |

"once id worked out how to turn off the nagging voice, it made using them a lot less annoying!
How? I'll give you a packet of biscuits if you part with that information. "
there's usually a small speaker icon near the bottom right hand corner, either on the screeen, or below on the machine...i was alerted to it by a spotty youth in M&S, he came to my aid after over hearing my less than M&S- freindly language! |
