This is just a quick one really as it's on my mind thanks to a near argument with a pushy supermarket worker yesterday evening.
I refuse to use those automatic tills. Fair enough they may well be very flash and new- age... BUT how many times have you been stood next to one when somebody has tried to put alcohol through? Or the machine's confused itself? On top of that there's a little mathematics that I don't like.. Where once 2 tills stood 4 automatic self service satanic creatures now dwell. With 1 member of staff looking over 4 tills. That's at least 1 member of staff's worth of hours cut back. Now, if these things spread out across the store that means an awful lot of reduced hours. Not that I'm championing the service I receive at.. this particular supermarket - there's a reason it's not my preffered shop - lately it's been thorougly lacking. I'm not, however, going to champion technology for the sake of it when it puts people out of work. I may well be way off the mark here but that's the joy of thise things. Correct me if I'm wrong

I used one in asda in kingston the other night and it was a big mistake. The funny thing is, i knew id made it as soon as i strolled up. It seems to get confused with the concept of bar codes, simple things such as potatoes, you packing your own bag and on top of that its always shouting at you what youve just scanned and how much it costs, followed by ordering you to put your money in. Never ever pay by real money. It almost overheats at the thought and is over shadowed by one person who seems that your doing her an unjust service by looking at her wantingly for help. This truly is satans play things.
