one year I was selling poppies for Remembrance Day - it was in Safeways [now Morrisons] and was standing in front of the self checkout till - I saw a shedload of people walk through with loaded trolleys who never paid a penny |

Yes I do use them if but not if I have a trolley. Tend to shop little and often so use them more often than not. Rarely have a problem and generally quicker. |

I don't use self service anything for one simple reason - they are not installed for the "help and convenience of the customer" they're their to cut down on staff costs pure and simple. self service is cheaper than employing people - and I for one am not about to start deliberately contributing to the unemployment figures. |

I refuse to use the self-service area in our Safeway. OH does use it occasionally, especially when the store is busy and he only has 1 or 2 items ................. but he almost always has to get help from the staff member who hovers around the self service machines |

There's a "service" counter at the supermarket, for returns, queries & tobacco products. |

that was an honesty thing in Safeways years ago, they trusted the customers to scan EVERY thing and pay what was on the scanner........but I suspect a few were not so honest............ |

If there aren't enough 'free' copies of papers in the supermarket cafe, we'll use the self service to pay for that, but not for the main shop |

If they open a new till in our large supermarket the 'one in charge' whatever her fancy name is, waits while the till is opened and calls people forward who have been waiting. She actually came down to us way down the line and escorted us to the new till and then opened it. |

In our local corner shop, the queue is as serene as a Vicar’s sitting-room. |

If you are going to a cashier in the supermarket, please treat her as a human being! |
