Re: Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8
Morrisons checkouts.
The damn things query an item's weight when it isn't sold by weight! If an item falls off and you put it back, it tends to become an 'unexpected item'!
And they try to hurry you along! Listen 'ere, I had a stroke and my right hand is virtually useless, so of course I take my time! Effectively I only have one hand! The last thing I need is some bloody AI implying I'm going too slowly! I'll give you 'please take your items' - I'm working on it!!!
Come to think of it, as a one-time programmer one thing I hate to see is card-only checkouts which don't default to cards as the payment method - what is the point of asking you if you wish to continue?! Of course you do - that's why you choose a card-only one, to save time (you hope)!
