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 started this thread after a recent visit to Iceland, where previously they had two manned tills and four self service tills. The manned tills always had queues and the self service tills were little used. So I used the self service tills without queuing.
This week I got to the tills and the self service tills were gone and there was a long queue to the ONE till that was actually manned. Boy was I annoyed.
Write to their head office...
re4ading this thread, there is obviously a golden ratio yet to be found between manned checkouts and automatic checkouts, that will make the most number of people happy.
