Self service...

[billybones]

Self service, who enjoys doing it themselves or is it much better if you have somebody help or do all the work for you?

I don`t mean the art of pleasing yourself but if its self service at the supermarkets, service station or these days even at the airport.
Are we taking someones job? Should we get discount if we do it ourselves?

I miss the days when someone would check my tyre pressure or if I had enough oil in the car.

Ahoy;- I always line up at Supermarkets and I walk into banks as much as possible, I do this because I do not wish to see these services disappear.

 

[johnlou]

i too prefer to use the attendants, they need a job as much as the next person

 

[markeys]

Self service at shops pisses me off especially at bunnings when i have heaps of heavy messy crap, they put even less check outs on now to force you into these self service checkouts.

Although goods do seem to be a lot cheaper through these types of checkouts.

1 or 2 items dont mind going thru the self service , but trolley load of goods i'll go for nearedt checkout chick so i can perve on her tight fitting blouse

It's easier to talk to the machine.

I love self service. I always wanted to be a check out chick, but unfortunately self service does not like me. I always get the "unexpected item in the bagging area" screen... THERES NO FUCKING UNEXPECTED ITEM!

 

[homer]

Yes the unexpected item somehow, got into the bag unexpectedly...i dunno.

Make a point of using the human manned checkouts to give people jobs

 

[bushseeker]

I know backpackers call them the free food lane
apparently they are pretty much purpose built to not have to pay

I know I should be more considerate of how self service impacts on jobs but sometimes I just don't want to have to repack all my shopping because the check out chick (or is it more pc to refer to them as customer service representatives these days???) has put all the heavy items in the one bag. I mean come on, it's not rocket surgery!

Yeah, this is a pain in the arse. Or they put a soft item (like bread) in with a bunch of heavy stuff and you end up with a squashed loaf.

No-one likes a squashed loaf....

Aw shucks Norm, you're making me blush!

I use the self check out. I know I should support the "customer service representatives" (thanks Scarlett ) but I do like to follow my own system when packing my shopping. Oh dear I might be anal retentive..........and a few other things

could that actually be an OCD?

 

[XTREME]

I once bought a pack of toilet paper at iga and the girl said would u want a bag?
I responded. … .nah its cool, I just put it in my pocket.

Spot on, Homer

 

[homer]

Spot on, Homer

Should we start a OCD anonymous club?

 

[bushseeker]

Thankfully im a guy... bags were made that size for a reason... so everything can go in one bag .. theres no reason the toilet duck cant go in with the rump steak... both are sealed and its not actually a toilet

 

[Rochelle]

Should we start a OCD anonymous club?

Yep...you and me are the first two anonymous members.........newbies are more than welcome......

 

[homer]

Should I call you OCD 1?

 

[Rochelle]

Should I call you OCD 1?

Yes please........think think think..........that would make you OCD 2........???????

 

[homer]

Yes please........think think think..........that would make you OCD 2........???????

Yes, OCD 2 here. Remember no one talks about the OCD A club, not a word. The meetings are as anonymous as paper bag over the head and you don't even have to speak.

 

[HappyPirate]

Ahoy;- OCD meeting........................

 

[homer]

Indeedily..one problem tho, suffocation is inevitable with that, you need to at least have breathing holes in them. How bout a theme night? OCD in pyjamas meeting.
