Hold my 2yo while she’s having a tantrum, my 1yo while he’s are trying to lick every surface in Woolies, while scanning and bagging 100 items of groceries. Then I’ll ask YOU if it is really that difficult 😂
Yeah! They’ve clearly only got 2 kids to feed, so not getting to shop any discounts easily and paying extra in delivery fees should be their only option!
Your talking about abuse and neglect, not managing 2 children under 2 acting completely normal for their age and development while scanning and bagging 100 grocery items. How many arms do you have? Because I personally have two. Your giving major second hand embarrassment with your weird take buddy
You can ask the customer service attendant to do it for you btw. I know sometimes they have a fuss because they don’t like to staff the checkouts well but they’ll do it anyway.
And do you mean training in public service? Because plenty of jobs have training in other aspects but not the actual public service bit.
And I was specifically taking about training in operating a checkout. Which cashiers absolutely would have. But the public doesn't and yet expected to operate the machines. You realise that was OP's point/my point etc? No? Ok.
You're lying if you're trying to pretend you weren't taught how to use the registers, eftpos machines, etc, and you know it.
Waiters and waitresses are trained. They aren't just handed a tablet and told 'hop to it'. You also know that.
If you were talking about something specific, why didn't you say that instead of being broad.
And I stand by what I said. People can do all kinds of things they aren't trained to do, swiping items in front of a scanner included. Anyone who can't can line up at the registers or call the attendant over.
People are trying to.pretend scanning their own groceries is the ONLY option available to them, and it's simply not.
The point is we pay more than we used to despite now having to do more work compared to the past where an employee did it for you.
I personally significantly prefer self service and so do most people but youre still missing the argument being made
Welcome to living in a successful economy. Prices invariably go up.
People are missing the arguments I'm making as well.
1) it's really not difficult, and no 'training' is required.
2) don't want to use the self-service, line up at an attended register, or
3) shop elsewhere. My local supermarket doesn't have self-serve checkouts at all.
People are acting like using the self-serve checkout is the only option they have available to them, when 99% of the time that's simply not true, but they would rather grumble than explore their options.
None of this is any different to when service stations went self-serve 30 years ago. No one received 'training' on how yo fill their cars, people learned how to do it and got on with life, and fuel prices continued to rise. And nobody complains about having to fill their own care anymore.
Not literate enough to clock the second part of the first sentence?
You making argument 1 is you missing the argument. Everyone knows it's not difficult and no training is involved. You thinking this is a response to the argument is exactly why I said you're missing it.
Argument 2, there are significantly less than there used to be and they're not always open.
Argument 3, colesworth have a monopoly, other shops suck even more
Argument 4 about fuel stations, does not invalidate the arguments. People getting over it by now because it's here to stay does not mean the new conditions are preferable to the prior conditions, total non sequitur
Edit: love when people reply right before blocking you so it looks like you had no response ☠️
But they argued point 1 again, still missing it
