Is self-service really a disservice?

[pgn]

From that X place:

Dear Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's, Lidl, Aldi, Waitrose, Morrisons, Marks & Spencer and all other stores that have self checkouts.

You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now.

The lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone.

I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, as, with a trolley I had already filled in-store, and in a space smaller than a postage stamp, that I had had to:

🛒disgorge the contents;
🛒scan the items, or wait for assistance to scan an uncooperative barcode;

🛒negotiate several "Unexpected item in bagging area" prompts;
🛒refill my trolley.

So I just skipped the exit line and left.

I heard her saying "umm - Excuse me" as I kept walking. I raised the receipt, which the machine does not always print for you, above my head, leaving the store.

You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.

I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.

• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem, not mine.

• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.

YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.

YOU DON'T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU.

Signed ....All of us

These are jobs that are needed for young and old alike.

Booths is a very expensive and posh supermarket, so they can afford to have staff on the tills...

Is that the supermarket with the excellent cafeteria situated adjacent to Windermere railway station and to Lakeland ? 

If so, that supermarket and Lakeland are very handy for shelter when it rains. ☔
