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.

  • What I don't understand is that in some supermarkets they require you to scan the paper receipt to exit.  What does that achieve?  What's the logic?

    What if one haven't bought anything, how do you get out?

    What happened to the promise of a computerized paperless society?
