Morrisons self service tills are the worst. You press the on-screen buttons and they don’t register, you’re waiting ages before the screen catches up.

Tesco, Sainsbury’s and ASDA, their self service machines work fine. Morrisons feel like they’re still on Windows 98.

Screaming kids. Some how it's my problem.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

I have always found that when the kids played up they were mine, and when they were good they were hers,i would be met with a stern face and "your son........."

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

I don't have kids to know of that compromise.

They were screaming on the train earlier. Pissed me off. The parents were useless. "Please be quiet, stop disturbing everyone on the train". "We won't be going swimming if you carry on".

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

What would you suggest they do then ?

Also, how did that make it your problem ?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

Castration.

Seriously how is their life become my problem? Hearing their racket caused me problems, a headache, it done my heading. I would have gone into first class but that was in the same carriage/coach which would have made little difference.

The parents moved to the other side of the carriage at one point leaving the kids alone on the other side. There was the walkway in between them.

The joy of public transport

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

On Friday a family decided to leave behind a mess of wotsits all crushed. Luckily for me that was the only empty table seats available. A little housekeeping was required. :(

The majority of the time it's problem free to be honest. It's just the odd occasion the antisocial mob decide to go out for the day.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

Seems extreme, but I suppose it would prevent you causing a similar problem in the future. ;)


Getting back to the Topic - People making a drama out of the loss of a tree, seriously, its really not that important. :sleep:

Cheap shot. Love it. I don't intend on reproducing :p:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

I refuse to use them.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

Just done my back in turning round to look at the clock in bed! Hoping I'll atleast be able to put my socks on 5am tomorrow morning for work!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

Where possible, I much prefer to use self-service tills. I'm anti-social, so I can't be bothered with inane chit-chat about the weather, and I know they're only being polite, but if I want a bag or receipt, I'll ask for them thanks.

With self-service (except in Morrisons), I can get in, pay, and then get back out pronto.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

Never really had any issues with Morrisons self service (they are our nearest).

Asda tills seem to be really impatient, complaining or even giving up while I'm getting the rewards code up on my phone.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
 

On the odd time I've had to use one there's always something goes wrong, then I have to have help and that makes me feel small. FFS I've been programming for over 40 years and hate computers.

I rather wait and use a real person at the checkout.
