The Retirement Thread

I refuse to use self service checkouts whenever possible - they take jobs.

It's only going that way because the sheeple let it.

I'm with you, it's not much of a job, but to some that's all they had.

I doubt whether staff were made redundant, but would of been redeployed picking online orders, of which there are many, or stacking the shelves. True, it would cut down the overall amount of staff over time, but not to the point of redundancy.
There are plenty of people on this forum who use Internet shopping for various goods doing small businesses out of income and therefore putting their staff at risk.

In my Sainsburys they got rid of four staff, and for that reason I always ask to open another till if there is a queue.

Son is back from university and daughter is staying here between flats. I feel really guilty saying this but I can’t wait for them to both bugger off!

House is absolute chaos, food shop bill has gone through the roof and my lad has commandeered Mrs Gunks car. I have turned into Victor Meldrew

I prefer weekdays to the weekend have the house to myself.

BTW, Meldrew was a fine figure of a man.

I like self check outs, I find them quicker than queuing.

Me too. I actually prefer the "self scan", but, "self checkout" is a good second best.
