Self Scan Checkouts Are A Nightmare

[gordiescotland1]

I went shopping to Morrisons with my parents and what should have been an easy task took over 20 minutes with there being 1 person serving at the self scan checkouts of 8 people who all had problems at the same time such as incorrect item in bag, take the last item out of the bag item not recognised etc etc. Never again it should come with a health warning for people suffering from high blood pressure not to use them.

Are they? Just because of Goose fat? I may have lost the thread here.

[Mamyalynne]

I actually buy my Goose fat from Asda.

Low salt as medical advice, as is fewer eggs.

I see. It's a cunning plan to kill off all us northerners who use Saxa and hens' eggs.

Is Waitrose struggling up north methyl? The Harrogate branch always seems to be busy.

[DaisyNonna]

Supposedly funny?

[BlackadderV]

Harrogate is in the Deep South!

I just order from Ocado and they bring me Waitrose goodies,well some of them.

Blackadder, at least I walk to the bus stop and then catch a bus to Waitrose and then carry my purchases home. Another bus, another walk. Ever heard of cold and rain? Elitist? No way.

Try going to B&Q. I recently purchased four 20KG bags of powdered tile cement and the employee overseeing the self-service area insisted I take all four bags out of the trolley one by one, scan them one by one and place them in the packaging area all by myself. At the end of the transaction, I had to load them back in the trolley myself. No compassion for the fact I'm near pension age and infirm. No offer of assistance. What the hell is wrong with these people?

I'd already had to take them off the pallet on the shop floor and load them in the trolley myself before I got to the checkout!
