Introverts always use the self check outs!

Is the self check outs in supermarkets, less about speed and convenience and more about you don’t have to speak to anyone ?

Rubbish, I've always had to speak to someone, they're rubbish because half the time they don't scan or tell you to remove item from bag. I go to checkout, you end up talking less to someone!

Literally every fucking time you have to shout over and say the thing isn’t working, then they call an engineer out and then you wished you just went to the normal check out and spoke to Doris on tills.

I speak to the lady that says

"Put item in the bagging area"

I say

"I have"

She says

"Put item in the bagging area"

I say

"Look, I've already told you once, it's in the bloody bagging area!"

She say

"Put item in the bagging area". ..

Then you’re on your knees pleading with the woman, that they are indeed in the bagging area!

I'm an off-the-scale introvert, and I'll only use them if I have no choice. For a lot of reasons, of which being old is probably the top.

I've never had an issue with them and find them much quicker and they don't judge the food you are buying

I usually go through them for speed as there’s not usually a queue, for me it’s not so much about avoiding speaking to people or my shopping being judged

I think you're almost spot on. It's to avoid other shoppers in the queue,the checkout staff,who spend more time chatting than scanning. Plus those absolute darlings...who despite having come to the shops,put goods on the conveyor and bagged it...still seem surprised they need to pay and begin the search for the purse. Love 'em.

I try to avoid them.

I like proper checkouts, with a proper person serving me.

But today, I popped in Poundland, huge queues so used the self service.

Oh the joy!

The tills are Yoda!!

I avoid them. I feel paranoid when people are waiting watching, I get flustered and I take ages because I'm doing it wrong and then I do it more wrong because I'm flustered.

I'd rather have a nice wee chat with Doris.

Doris always asks me if I got everything I was looking for, but I don’t think she really gives a shit if I did or not.

I always try to use the checkouts rather then the self checkout tills, that way I am doing my bit to keep someone in a job.

Have you borrowed this from Years and Years?

Do you like to take the time to tell Doris what you had been looking for, but couldn’t find.... complete with extensive back story of why you were even looking for such a niche product in the first place? Doris loves that, but customers in the queue behind you just want to punch you!

My friend works at Tesco. Occasionally she has to over look the self check out.

She would love £1 every time an adult try’s to be funny by saying “do you need to see my ID for this wine, ha ha!”

Hate self serve never quicker than standard ones and if you have wine or beers you need an assistant anyway then there is always one item that refuses to scan

Access to the self service check outs should be restricted to over 18 y/o only. Remove age restrictions from certain items, then they would only need to place one person on a gate leading to the self service check outs to 'swipe' you in if you're over 18. That would prevent them having to run round umpteen check outs clearing ale through. They always come to me last by which time I'm normally half way through a bottle of Malbec

I use scan as you shop, as I hate loading the trolley, unloading the trolley at the checkout, packing bags and loading the trolley again. Nothing to do with being an introvert, it just saves time and hassle.

You register an account and they randomly security check your shopping. I have no doubt some people take advantage.
