Many come back just because I'm there which is nice too. " Thats lovely Ours just grunt when they have to overide something  | |||

"I am famous in tesco for walking away and leaving it there I also have a rep in Sainsburys for making the crusty git catch the cider bottles I lob at him when he says he is too busy to do the id crap and I'll have to wait. " The ones I work on allow you to continue scanning even if you need approval. An amber light tells me it's needed, a red light means go there immediately. If you have scanned all your items in the company I work for, press finish and pay, red light comes up and I'm there almost immediately. | |||

Why not just open another till With that person on it? Really avoid em as " aint nobody got time for that " lo "Because my area has the capacity to get 10 customers through quickly if they have a few items. It is becoming more popular and people are doing a full shop going through the bigger machines. I think it has a lot to do with the staff, given what my customers tell me. | |||

"I don't just wait for lights and "unexpected items". I watch and patrol my area.

The only time it can go totally pear shaped is when the machines go tits up and it's out of our control. Thankfully that doesn't happen too often! Because I like my job, most of the time, and enjoy working with the public, again most of the time, even when it does go badly wrong, my customers have been very understanding. What I do hate are rude, ignorant people who treat me like I came in on their shoes, just because I work in a supermarket. I work long hours, constantly on my feet, walking miles it feels, and have to do it with a smile on my face. So next time you're in and have an "unexpected item" don't get mad at the machine and then be rude to the staff. We are actually there to help. On saying that, I do know that some people are just not suited to working with the public. Last thing you want is a sour faced, grumpy bugger sorting out your alcohol or painkiller approval!!!!! | |||

I appreciate you. Well not you, never met you but you know what I mean!
Working with the public is shit. People are rude for no reason. I always make a point of saying thank you etc. So many don't. | |||

"When read this I was thinking items you did not expect in your trolley - I have a habit of putting packs of condoms in the trolleys of people who abandon them - am I a bad person ? " Lol!!! Just remember its the staff who have to put everything back. That's another bugbear of mine. People change their mind about some items and dump them. DON'T!!!! Give them to the self service host who can put them back immediately. Chilled and frozen food have to go into waste otherwise. This leads to increased costs to the consumer. | |||
