    Weird thing happened in Coles Richmond Traders this morning when I was buying my lunch. The exit gate for the self-serve lane didn’t open. Had to show the receipt to the attendant to get the gates open to leave. I think this is Coles’ response to grab it & run ‘customers’. Might be a good idea to keep your receipt handy until safely out of there in future.

      Self-serve checkouts are the absolute pits. I really hate how they’ve become in such widespread use.

          Please notify attendant

          attendant is busy helping some elderly customer who apparently has never used an eftpos machine before

            Or some idiot taking 2 full trolley loads through whilst the actual registers have no line.

              I make sure to “accidentally” bump into them. Apologise profusely, and bump into them again.

              Or if I’m at the register next to them, crowd their area as much as possible.

              I’m probably adding to the problem, but get a weird sense of satisfaction from it.

        Reminds me, I had to go to target yesterday for the first time in 6 years lol and they didn’t have a single human register, every single cashier register had been replaced with self serve and 1 lady manning all 20. Felt kinda dystopian

      I start sweating at the self serve like I’ve stolen something but really I’m just over exerting myself because I have a trolley full of shit, no register is open so i have to do it myself and I want to get out of there.
