I know what your getting at here mate. I bought a magazine from WH not long ago, then they offer/ask you if your wanting stuff you don't want or need.

Yea, also they self-service, noticed a lot of shops getting them in. A certain shop only had 4, now a year or 2 later they have umpteen.

Do you know the shops are doing people out of a job.

And now everytime I'm in the bank they keep banging on about Internet banking, again doing someone out of a job, no interaction etc.

I do always chuckle at their policy of charging for a carrier bag "to save the environment", and then proceed to try and give you a handful of leaflets with special offers on that would definitely go straight into the bin.

I have asked before if I can swap these for a carrier bag, doesn't go down too well.

"Don't blame the assistant,they are doing what they are told to do. It's their job "

It annoys the shit out of you though, its the same with KFC.

'Hi, can I have JUST a zinger burger meal'?

'Would you like extra hot wings for 99p'?

'How much are they normally'?

'99p'

I was asked today "did I find everything I was looking for today" in a toy shop.

Cue the blinky fish impression from the poor girl when I told her no, as I wasn't particularly looking for anything but decided to buy the jigsaw on impulse.

She went quiet.

Lol busybody bastards arent they?! I feel sorry for the staff, knowing the "training" they have to go through.

But ffs three weeks ago I went to buy my mum some novels. I picked one up for £5.99.

Staff: "Did you know that you can buy another one for £1 with this book?"

Me: "Get the fuck out, really??? Yes please, which ones?"

The lady was alone on the tills and despite there being a queue behind me, she actually helped me to quickly choose the other £1 novel.

Back to the till...

Staff: "That'll be £15.99 please...

Me: "...eh???"

tunbridge wells

unfortunately its what retail employers expect from their staff nowadays, they have no choice but to upsell,/offer an extra item

I have to do it at work and we get mystery shopped and if an extra product hasn't been offered the pits of hell open up for the poor sod that was on the till

so I sympathise with the poor fucker in smiths that has to offer you a bar of chocolate knowing full well that you don't want it

It it what the companies want more self service areas, less checkout staff, more profits for the company.

"I wonder how the self-service till checks your boarding pass?

same way it scans your item?

Just a guess... I try not to use 'em - it's the thin end of the wedge.

It won't be too long until they stock everything in shops where the whole place is basically a gigantic vending machine that you're walking around in.

No people. No interaction.

Just get your stuff and give us more of your money.

The chip in the card will send them your usual shopping and that's the stuff you'll be offered as well if you don't have it in your basket.

Tesco beside me is already on that route, you can already pick up a scanner and scan your shopping as you go round. I object to this and self serve tills. If I want to use a till I will apply for a job!

Yea more profits for all the big-wig/fatcats at the top. So they'll pobably award themselves an even BIGGER bonus.

Won't be long till you go to supermarket and they'll be no check-out. You'll do it yourself. It's criminal that the shops etc are doing away with check-out people, doing people out of job.

Do shops have obligations to employ as many people as possible then?

If you ran a shop and somebody came to you with a way of saving thousands of pounds but you would lose some staff I bet you would do it.

What about single parents who have 2/3 kids to feed, say they work at check-out, bank etc

Then one day..

"oh we don't need you now, anyone who comes into our shop now does there own check-out"

Or

If you want to be a lazy sod/hermit you can now do your shopping/banking etc, etc ON-LINE.

Won't be long till you're almost doing everything on-line, getting shopping sent to you, not going out, not interacting with people, turning into a couch potato.
