BFTD Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Fucking self checkouts. *beep* do you have your own bags? *pushes button to indicate yes* You then proceed to scan your items and at the finish it asks you how many bags you have bought, there aren't any bags there to use you stupid electronic c**t, so how could I have used them? They'll have 'upgraded' the software again now that the carrier bag charging has kicked in. Remember what a fucking mess those things were when the supermarkets first put them in? You basically needed a cashier with you during the whole process anyway. Bleeping and error messages every time you scanned an item 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. People obviously can't be trusted to pay 5p per bag, so there are none there. You need to find someone to bring you bags, meaning that self-service is now less handy than going to a manned till. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 It's to let the trucks out easier from the Asda depot. f**k the general public, somebody at the council's taken a back hander from Asda. Saw an interesting documentary about Walmart in the US a while back. Apparently they get local authorities to build new stores for them, which they agree to inhabit for a token rent for the first few years as a sweetener. When the sweetener period expires, Walmart threaten to leave if they aren't allowed to stay rent-free. In the meantime, they've destroyed all the local businesses and their stores are so huge that nobody could fill the building if they leave the town. So, they essentially own the town by that point, and this is their standard practice for moving into new markets. Must admit that I wonder what concessions our councils make to get an ASDA in their area... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champagne-Supernova Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 RandomGuy, is one of the ultimate "Tryhards", It's quite funny in a way, but then again you feel like you're taking liberties laughing at someone who is less fortunate than one's self. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like shopping and I like using the self serve machines. 99% of the time there are no incidents but once in a while they like to f**k you about just to remind you who is the boss in the relationship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Khaki Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Missus eating breakfast cereal. She uses the bowl and spoon like some sort of musical instrument. She can't seem to eat like a normal human, it's a case of making several passes with the spoon for each mouthful, which results in an up-tempo 'ching-ching-ching-ching' every ten seconds. You can hear it form the other side of the house. Drives me up the bloody wall. Oh aye, and the fact she's never eaten 'breakfast' cereal at breakfast either. It's invariably 9pm or some shit and I'm trying to just chill out and this 'ching-ching' starts up.
