self scan is a loving godsend. no having to interact with another human and you've got all the time in the world to sort your bagging out

clubcards are the worst kind of loyalty cards because with nectar points i get a free xmas shop once a year but tesco is like no you pleb, this is what you are getting money off, we are deciding for you coop cards i have no idea what they are for

i like having a chinwag and/or a chitchat with middle aged ladies about weather and about what's gone on next door in primark to have had the police turn up and about how certain supermarket own brand products are actually better than the thing they're knocking off

If I know in advance I'm going to be socialising then I can get in the right frame of mind and do it, but otherwise I'm in my own little world and people talking to me is just this unexpected annoyance that I can barely engage with. Basically I don't like manned checkouts.

crispix posted:i loathe the demise of the checkout operators and i write letters of complaint about it regularly A shop near me died completely because they went self checkout. Two or three security guards to eye you doing it, probably more watching on cameras, but only one person who could fix or give any help with the actual things. In complete opposite land, Aldi prides itself having none and is overtaking everyone.

it's little wonder because all you have to do is send tesco or asda an email about how pissed off you are about there not being a checkout person and they send you a tenner lol

I had the woman looking at me trying to decide if she was going to Id me for a pack of monster lol. She didn't in the end but I'm 33 I was in shorts, hoody, mask and cap though so

Bobby Deluxe posted:clubcards are the worst kind of loyalty cards because with nectar points i get a free xmas shop once a year Tesco you get clubcard points which they turn into money vouchers as well as the shelf-labelled reductions, so I get vouchers and keep them for Christmas or when I'm angry and want them to pay for my wine or whatever. Co-op : install their app and they do offers where you pick 2 from whatever random things they have for you for that week but you can do it just before you go to the checkout so you just pick the best offers for what you have already bought. Sometimes they give £x off a £y shop ones as well as particular item discounts. Self scan via handheld Android or Windows CE scanners is much better than the self-scan at the checkout crap, you just shove it in your bag in the middle of the shop and feel like a shoplifter (and can check that offers work) instead of scanning at the end. Although I think about 50% of the scanners at my local Tesco are held together with sellotape now, urgh. Edit: co-op also add money to your card balance when you buy co-op branded stuff. 5% back and 1% to charity or something similar?

Self checkouts are bad because I'm addicted to spirits such as vodka and it takes significantly longer to get someone over to take the plastic thing off.

oh no computer posted:the aldi system is loving terrible, they insist their employees are always busy so as soon as there are no customers to serve the till operators are forced to gently caress off and stack shelves or lift boxes out back or whatever, which inevitably leads to massive queues at the tills when people actually need to use them. last resort supermarket (their knockoff lager is good for the price so i cant completely avoid them) MY Aldi's just installed a bunch of self-checkouts and it's great  The one thing I really hate about self-checkouts is bags. It's taken as a given that you'll bring your own bags along these days but half the time when you weigh your own bag, the machine'll subsequently throw a fit: "Too heavy! It's all too heavy!!!!!", requiring a staff member to come and verify that your bag is in fact a bag. Why ask me, if the machine's not going to believe me?

Not had any side effects from AZ jab 2  Tell you what though, the Asda meal deal is the best now, any three items and the third is free? Mini got 3 sushi for £2 and spent the other £1 on a huge chocolate milk.

I'm left-handed so they recommended I get the first one in my right arm. It was sore as hell for a few days after and made me realise that, aside from writing and wanking, I do almost everything right-handed.

Luv 2 give up my Saturdays to do voluntary care work for a gammon who gets later and later each week because he’s mad I won’t give up a week day. Weekday group got cancelled because this guy kept turning up so late that group was almost over. Like if we only have 8 to 1 to do anything then turning up at 10:30 because you and your £30 a day fag habit MUST use the free bus pass then I’m going to tell you to gently caress off.

My youngest gave up on sleep at around 11pm last night so I've said gently caress it and we're watching TV now while her sister is off swimming. It's already been a really long day
