And they’re always the ones who are first to complain about the NHS too.

Should get one strike.

“ next time I see you Mr and Missus Piggy, you will have to pay for your own diabetes treatment privately if you haven’t lost at least a stone “

Its like they think diet pepsi/coke is some sort of elixier

Good man, really annoys me the amout of people who use these, Supermarkets use them as a way of cutting staff hours and even laying some off, which sucks as most people who work checkouts are on low income anyway and obviously need the work

You're probably right but i use them as a way of avoiding being in a queue behind a pensioner

Nah, its all about using them for folk who just pop in and out for lunch or a pint of milk. I use them pretty much every time. And for every cashier that is no longer needed, there will be a dozen personal shoppers and delivery drivers catering for the ever expanding on line grocery shopping to take up the slack, jobs wise.

Not at all mate, but my missus has to treat the festering wounds caused by diabetic fatties continuing to stuff pizza into themselves, safe in the knowledge that the good old NHS will sort them out.

It’s their equivalent of dieting, same as low tar ciggies isn’t really smoking !

When I go the asda and there are no tills on, just the self service ones, it's evident it's not just for people wanting a couple of items mate.

Add for tomorrows 'local news' program...dairy farmers could face bankruptcy due to the on going drought.

Maybe they'd have money to see them through if the supermarket duopoly hadn't tied them into longterm no escape contacts then continually lowered the wholesale price they pay farmers to below break even, using milk as part of a loss leader campaign in an 8yr price war with their rival.

The good (different) news is that ALDI came in and is wiping the floor with the big 2, thus bringing the overall cost to the shopper down.

The last time I went to Lidl there were no manned tills open, it was self-service or nothing. When I go to the Asda there are always enough manned tills open, and if queues start forming they open more tills.

My local Sainsburys and Tesco seem to have a balance of both. If the Asda near me had no manual checkouts, the food would be ruined by the time folk went through the self service ones.

I assume that when you go to a manned till you always pay cash.

I could bore you to death about how this works, but the queue thing is a significant part of the stores performance and bonus etc.

Every Thursday I go to see a mate who has had a hip replacement. Journey up the A4 is about 9 miles. There have been temporary traffic lights for ages but last week they had gone. Today, there were some more. Coming home, just at the beginning of rush hour, had to queue for almost 1 mile. The traffic in the other direction was queued for 2 miles. Length of the roadworks was about 20 yards. There are more temporary traffic lights around here than there are permanent ones.
