Self service tills.

I love self service tills in shops.  They are much more hygienic than manned tills.  The only unhygienic part is pressing the button asking how I'm making the payment and if I want a receipt.

On manned tills the operator touches every item of food I buy and on a recent visit I saw an operator sneeze all over herself and her hands and food items.

Now some shops are going into reverse, Booths are ripping out their self service tills, and my local branch of Iceland has gone back to manned tills only.

All opinions are welcome.

    I welcome this, as it means computers aren't taking up human jobs. There's going to be a lot of this in future and it's going to make the job market even more horrible for people trying to find work.

    I've come to quite like using the manned tills and having a brief convo with someone.

    The self-service ones I tend to prefer, but something always goes wrong with them. They fail to scan things, go berserk because you're scanned a yoghurt, or whatever else. That causes me bother.
