However, the self-scanners in Boots turn me into just that, already. Beware! Items that are too light to register on the scales cause problems... along with suggestions to 'not bag the item'.<br />LucyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27523184.post-31792265283831071882011-10-06T20:52:50.935+01:002011-10-06T20:52:50.935+01:00Sometimes I use the self-scanner and sometimes I u...Sometimes I use the self-scanner and sometimes I use the real, live, breathing cashier. Which one I use depends on how many items I am buying (more=cashier, fewer=self), how long the line is (long=avoid, short=use), and my temperament in general (happy=either one, crappy=neither one).rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27523184.post-55030282700130316222011-10-05T21:31:11.823+01:002011-10-05T21:31:11.823+01:00I don't remember the last time I DIDN'T us...I don't remember the last time I DIDN'T use a self-scanner. Even at the fairly large Sainsbury's Market (one of the biggest in central London) - I always use self-scan because I'm shopping on foot so never buy more than I can carry. <br /><br />The M&S Food near my office - always self-scan, same for the Tesco I sometimes pop into on my way to work (like this morning, buying cereal).<br /><br />In this city the customer service can be so awful (and unintelligible) so much of the time - I would much rather serve myself.Milohttp://theyearzero.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27523184.post-41158191878345408902011-10-05T21:30:22.873+01:002011-10-05T21:30:22.873+01:00I refuse to use them because, as I always point ou...I refuse to use them because, as I always point out to the staff, it's enough that I have to trawl the aisles to find what I want without having to scan it all myself as well. :)Jennytchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621488409334115930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27523184.post-29969540784290497072011-10-05T19:11:58.115+01:002011-10-05T19:11:58.115+01:00I've never used one of those self-scan things....I've never used one of those self-scan things. Today I walked into Sainsbury's at Leeds Station and ALL the checkouts were self-scan so I walked straight out again. I'd love to say it's because I'm protecting jobs - - and it is, partly. But it's also because I know I'm turning into that elderly lady more with every passing day. Sighhh. I'm glad you helped her though.Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469075813149239051noreply@blogger.com
