Lack of open tills in Tesco

Above.

Just done some shopping again earlier, and there were about 15 customers in, and only 1 till open unless you count the customer service desk for Lottery tickets, fags and that.

Not acceptable!

I hate using self service machines as well, if you're buying certain items, you have to flag down a human to verify your age and stuff, and this afternoon, the flippin' receipt got stuck when it was printing so I had to grab a human to sort it.

Is it just me or has anyone else had problems with Supermarkets not having enough staff?

I think there is a debate rn on if supermarkets should just have less staff at the checkouts with self service and now they want you to scan receipts as you exit to basically put security staff redundant which I see quite a few flaws for, mostly to do with the fact that machines don't completely remove human errors.

That aside, to directly answer your questions I haven't had any issues with staffing as such but the Pound land near me have like 3 out of 7 self service machines operational and it's been like that for months now it's quite a shambles tbh

If they have less security staff, you get more idiots on the nick in Asda/Tesco etc.

So now Tesco have introduced "Magic" tills that don't use scanners at all.
