Yesterday, 8:59 PM | Re: Self serve checkouts I was talking to friends who work at woolies during uni and stuff, they were telling me some how it requires more staff atm. Most people do not use them for trolley fulls worth of stuff, mainly just one or two things. |

1 staff member takes care of 6 or so self serve checkouts. As opposed to 3-4 normal/express checkouts

Also, there is no way that they can require more staff. They require one person to preside over the area for customer service/security. Considering most stores have 6-10 SSC, there is no way you can quantify that statement. | |

18 Nov 2009, 8:48 PM  | Re: Self serve checkouts I love them, since I used to work at woolies and am a lot faster than most of the people working there. They're really well designed as well, so you dont even have to touch the screen if ur paying with cash. And Ive noticed that at my local shop, staff seem to have been moved to other registers rather than sacked... the queues have shortened heaps since these things were introduced |

Today, 1:36 AM | Re: Self serve checkouts they're good, efficient. i have no problems with them. you do get the odd person who tries to take a epic amount of stuff with them though, and that always fails
