lots of staff are on casual which has an added loading.

then theres all kinds of different penalty hours

Yep, I was casual at Woolies at 21. $22 an hour with $4 an hour casual loading, taking it to $26.

8 hr sunday shifts were good at $33 an hr

The Germans don't mess about, fining a man 208,000 Euros for attempting to pass off 47 euros worth of veal liver as cheaper fruit.

Shame. Shame. Shame.

Germany and Switzerland base fines on income, so that rich campaigners that can afford the fines don't ignore the rules.

1 million franc speeding fine.

He escaped being zapped by numerous radars en-route simply because he was going too fast and they were incapable of clocking speeds beyond 200kph (125mph). It was a new generation of radar machines that finally caught him travelling at close to 300kph (186mph).

Brilliant.

 

[MarcusP2]

Brilliant.

Then blames the speedo not working. Lol

I saw this tweet yesterday and it got me thinking:

I've never even considered taking a trolley through self-checkout--in my opinion it's a basket/handful of goods area only. I've asked a few people around the office today and it seems to be a 50/50 split, but those on my side feel very strongly about it.

What say you, fine people of the General Discussion board? Yay or * off to trolley users?

 

[Perth gal]

I always take a trolley through. Can't see the issue. It doesn't say you can't.

What's annoying is when people take massive trolleys through a 12 item or less thing. That my friend is rude.

 

[Quivorir]

Yeah I have no issue if for some reason a person wants to scan it themselves. Waste your life doing that for all I care, but its not like it costs extra to get a "pro" to do it for you.

until a self service scanner can scan my trolley, rather than individual, I'm happy to pay for the service

 

[Spongebob]

Self check outs are an abomination against nature.

If it's a choice between waiting ages to get them to do it for you or spare self service scanners I know what I'm going to do.

Don't get me wrong, I am a self serv user, last thing I want to do is talk to people. But I'd almost guarantee that by the time you manage to scan everything, get the attendant to tick off the unexpected item in baggage area notifications, and find that tiny ass barcode on the kinder surprise you'd already have the car packed and be on your way if you went to an attendant.

 

[MatthewB]

if i have a larger trolley, i get them to do, i cant be arsed doing it, only go through self serve if i have one of the half size trolleys or basket

 

[Richard Cranium]

I can barely be arsed scanning 10 or so items on my own. Bugger doing a trolley-full of stuff.

Couldn't have hurt OP to utilise the ol' search function: https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/supermarket-self-checkout.1146378/

The thread title auto search function FAILED ME. Merging now.

 

[Beerfish]

Still firmly in the * off to trolley users camp.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

My question isn't about whether or not it's a waste of the trolley user's time, it's "won't somebody PLEASE think of the basket-holders stuck in line behind them?!"

I object to the new thread title based on search function fail merge fail.

Who cares about the basket holders - complain to the shop. If they can’t open enough checkouts then I’m going through self serve.

*I hate shopping, hate scanning my own groceries but I hate they don’t open checkouts anymore especially of an evening

 

[WCErevival]

I take a trolley through all the time. Its not item restricted so who cares.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Every shopper for themselves, damn

 

[Off The Couch]

At our local coles there is the surliest bitch I’ve ever encountered, I constantly feel apologetic if I need to ask her to fix the stupid goddam machine

 

[Gigantic]

People who take trolley full of items through self check-out are more than likely the same who choose to leave their trolleys in the car park rather than returning them to the trolley bays. Which is ironic, how can they be bothered scanning all their items but not bothered returning their trolley?
