Supermarket Self-Service Tills

[cchris2lou]

food has never been so cheap , so we pay the price somewhere else .

:shock: Our food bill seems to go up every week at the moment.

I havent got the right stats to hand but 30 years ago we spent 30% of income on food and now it is less than 10% .

What are you eating Chris! I spend about 20-25% of my salary on food and I buy cheap stuff.

 

[chrisv40]

I spend 25-30% of my income on the weekly shop although obviously thats not all food, there seems to be a price increase every week on most of the things we buy

The price of wheat on the international markets is going up and up. That sort of makes most stuff more expensive.

All I know is that a small 'olive' pot of sunblush goes through as 26p worth of onions......

Say no more ;0)

how do you do this/get away with it?

I just pretend to pass things over the scanner and make a few beeping sounds without moving my lips.


Total grocery bill for last month was £2.63............

hey mum, why is that man beeping?! how do you get away with it?!!

I love them , great to sneak in all the curry side dishes in the prepaid meal .

mmm jummy! how do you do it though? they must have some protection against iT?

These things stink!

Before long all 'Supermarkets' will be fully automated with a security guard patroling the tills.

It's happening in banks too! Who needs to interact with another human being aye? And we wonder why the 'yoof' are fick and ignorant and that, innit!



al.

So you dont do online banking?

They do online banking now do they?

I don't do Supermarkets either, infact I have a banned list as long as my arm, and I'm 6.3"

I'm one of those people that go to the bakers for bread, grocers for veg, bike shop for etc etc...

when the woman gives me the bag of prepared curry dishes only sealed with a small sticker I just fill it by the opening on the sides with naan bread , barjhees etc.......

I do an online shop Sainsburys. Costs me 3.50 but the guy is always late and we get a voucher for a tenner. One time the guy brought us about 20 quids worth of extra shopping, Napolina tinned tomatoes, organic veg, salad etc.

Had to use one a couple of weeks ago , I was going to the chip shop and a mate at worked asked if I could pop to the shop and get him some rolls . Stood in a queue and a chap came and asked if I'd like to use the self serve thing , I had only seen a few before so said I don't know how , he came with me and showed me . Not exactly progress to have someone stood asking people if they would like to self serve , he could have been sat serving people :x Banks have fooked me off for years , people stood around asking if you would like to use the machines , no I fooking wouldn't I want to be dealt with by real people , I don't work there !

Ain't that the truth Perry...happens to me nearly everyday when I do my business banking....girl/women asks people in the queue in that annoying 'Abigails Party' voice...can I help you...bla bla bla...and I'm afraid I'm a little blunt...'yes you can...by getting behind the counter and serving people!'

I must be known as the grumpy one [/quote]
