Hear hear, oorain. I refuse to use those bloody self checkouts for precisely the reason you state. The blatant disposal of human resources and the herding of customers through those patently inadequate areas is repugnant to me too. I have too, on several occasions, left a trolley full of goods rather than queue six deep with only one or two checkout operators working. More people should do this to teach supermarkets a bloody good lesson.
PS I was in Woolworths today and nearly vomited at the loud broadcasting of their inane "fresh food" song - not jingle, it is now a full production long play.
