Self Service Checkouts Yay or Nay!

I cause chaos every time I try to use them. Where do I put my shopping bag and walking stick? Poked an elderly chap between the legs trying to balance my stick under my arm whilst pressing buttons. I have poor eye sight and find digital screens difficult. Trying to peer at that I managed to knock a carton of strawberries off the platform into the narrow isle and they got trodden on so they has to close the whole section!. This was in M&S where the checkout queues were so long I was told to use the self service.

Avoid them like the plague.

I don’t like them. Making customers do the job of cashiers is a good way of getting rid of staff,

Totally agree with you, HeavenLeigh. Local supermarket has just fitted about 10 of the wretched things, leaving only 4 original ones, always with long queues!

I dislike them too HeavenLeigh because invariably I have to call for assistance .

I like them

Only if I have no more than a couple of items, and the manned (can I say 'manned'?) checkouts are busy.

Yay!
