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.
Local co-op will be Having a massive refurbishment next year. Instead of the magazine section, that will be a self service till. Priority for the staff is to use the manual till to serve customers. Then help customers with the self service.
I prefer to be severed by a human being as usually do small talk (not great with); sometimes staff help me with the self service especially with gift cards. I don't like it people treat me as I've got a learning disability.
The library will be having a new self service machine which is bigger.
The hotel I work for has two new self service points for guests checking in and out and there is no end of problems with them and it’s been several months since they were put into use
