Melanius Mullarkey Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Self service checkout users. Stood and watched two twats today in Tesco. First one beeps through his shopping onto the scales then gets a bag out and proceed to then pack his stuff into the bag instead of putting bag on the scale at the start and packing into the bag like any normal person does. Second c**t actually produces the shopping out of a big carrier bag, then proceeds to scan through the shopping before putting it back in to the original bag. So the silly c**t has actually gone round doing his shopping and putting it into a bag rather than using a trolley or basket. Fucking Dundee man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small price to pay. I hope you remembered to go back and destroy all the cctv footage by burning the shop down as well.

pozbaird Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Everything about supermarket self-checkout machines gets on my tits. Everything. From them not recognising you have indeed put your own bag on the shelf, to them giving you less than half-a-second to put an item in, before giving you the ‘unexpected item in bagging area’ shite. The wee red light to attract staff attention every second item that fcuks-up. Trying to navigate through the fruit & veg’ menus to price one red onion you needed for a recipe, the whole experience is about as enjoyable as being hit in the baws by a Mitre Mouldmaster on a blaes pitch at school in the winter of 1978. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Still beats having to make small talk with cashiers, though. Also having to navigate the general arseholery of other customers. Thank Christ for home delivery. I don't know how there aren't more massacres at supermarkets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 My local Aldi store is something else. The checkout operators have every single item scanned within about 4 seconds, then shout out the total cost before you've even got 1 item into the bag. It's as if they are trying to show you how clever they are by the speed at which they can run articles past a scanner. Are all Aldi stores like this? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The silent seethe from the queue and the till operator is glorious. Who the f**k are they to hurry you on, I will do my own shopping at my own pace thank you very much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Asda or Tesco the girls usually offer to help you pack your bags which makes it a more pleasurable experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I can vaguely remember when all the supermarkets were like that; chuck everything back into your trolley/basket after it's been rung up, then quickly retire to the wall with a shelf to bag it yourself. I think you'd have received short shrift if you'd asked for help. Hard to believe that's still a specific job at American supermarkets. Quite why they need one person on the till and another to put things in bags, who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X items must be scanned per minute to achieve pay/bonus, you should bag away from the till. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to shop there thats the craic basically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
