I agree that self service checkouts belong in the bin. At our local Asda yesterday, peak shopping time, only 5 of 13 checkouts were staffed, queues backing up at these and people trying to 'self-serve' huge shopping trolley piles of food. Ridiculous! Apparently Asda have cut the number of staff, and the staff are forbidden from using the staffed check-outs when doing their own shopping. I did ask one of their managers if I was going to get discount for doing their jobs for them and was rewarded with a dirty look!
