  • When I quit my supermarket job after getting my accounting degree my manager tried to convince me to stay, saying they had plans to promote me into management and eventually I could work my way into a head office position.

    Umm, no thanks, I think I’ll take the job that I’ve been working towards getting for years.








  • I hate them because I have a toddler and making sure they don't run off, move things from the scale, grab candy from the very child friendly height displays, all while trying to scan and bag my groceries.

    At staff checkouts we load on conveyor belt together. I can keep control of my child. And then we leave.

    I hate self serve. Staffed checkouts are much more relaxed for me. I did like self serve better before kids though.


  • They effectively have been abolished at mine. 30+ self serve, occasionally they have someone, but don't start until a hour after opening time, it's only 1 person. They don't cover breaks, so just close staffed check out then. Sometimes they are doing other jobs and you have to stand at the checkout for them to come over and open it up for you.

    They are definitely discouraging it and make you feel like you are being difficult if you want to use them.
