You're RAPING whatever is left of your deranged ethics and you're needlessly MURDERING yourself slowly every minute of the day. The bitterness of 15 yrs of chronic cyber junkie trolling is EATING you away. Into nothing.😔

Nahhh no way .... you can't be that stupid Frodo.

You do realise that what you've just admitted to is quite serious.

You're impersonating a poor innocent guy who happens to have the same name as you and now you're pretending to live where he lives? That's a new low. Even for a piece of fake shyte like you who hasn't paid a cent in tax or child support in his pathetic life and is still bludging off another woman by maintaining a cyber junkie troll existence and by being on the dole.

BRB....I have a few calls to make.

This might help.

Unfortunately, even the shrinks can't help her. The only viable option at this stage is a full frontal labotomy

What is this line that you know so much about that can be snorted? Like some filthy pig?

The only lines I know of are those lines which appear in pure and applied mathematics and of course physics.

Here's my review of 3 supermarkets and their self checkout systems.

Woolies
There are 3 prompts you have to clear before you can even start scanning, do you have a bag, do you have a loyalty card, are you paying by card.
Once scanning the system is reasonable, but a little glitchy and slow. I think there' an extra annoying prompt at the end that slows you down.

Coles
There are no prompts to begin with and you can just start scanning unless the person before you walked away without pressing yes or no to print a receipt. Once scanning it's about the same as Woolies in speed, has the occasional glitch and the occasional hangup when it doesn't know you put something in the bagging area. It has the loyalty card prompt at the end and also asks if you want to print a receipt as I mentioned earlier.

Coles also has a self scanner with a conveyor belt, they're newer machines and are really fast and easy to use.

Aldi
Not many Aldi shops have self scanners, but the times I've used them they are really fast. No prompts to get going at the beginning or end so that's good. The system is really fast, probably because they're newer and they have less inventory to deal with.
One annoying thing is, after you scan something, the time it gives you to put the item in the bagging area is really short and you get an voice prompt, 'please put your item in the bagging area'. I go fast enough so it doesn't happen often but I can hear a constant repetition of it from the machines around me which is bloody annoying.

From worst to best.

Woolies
Coles normal machine
Aldi
Coles with the conveyor belt

Hope this helps.

I like the technology behind the systems and I've enjoyed watching it improve and in some cases get worse.

The local woolies has changed their deli barcodes to small ~1cm square QR codes that are a bitch to scan.

I also like being able to split my shop as I choose, to maximise the fuel vouchers.

That said, this is where my fascination for them ends.

It's just another cog in the job losses to automation, and our Government has framed any discussion about what to do about it as socialism and their supporters simply parrot it.

They'll complain about it, as they do on here, but they'll direct their anger to big tech or some conspiracy, as they've been told to, and the problem will not be addressed until it's too late and it will cost many times more to fix, if it ever can be at that point.

Agreed.

Hitherto (just to annoy the anti-Marxists), I have not used a Woolworths or Coles self-serve checkout.

I've used them in Target, Kmart, and in London - as I wasn't given a choice - but I will hold out as long as I can with WW and Coles.

I went through checkout with an attendant. Mainly because I wanted to see if she had actually rebuffed me the last time I went through her checkout line. Otherwise, I would have gone the way of the self-serve.

This afternoon, Bunnings had a line up of people for the TWO checkouts they had manned. I had about $500+ worth of items in my hand and I did not want to wait around for 4 other people to be served before me. I went to the self-serve and was done within a minute. I probably would not mind $20 deducted from my $500 purchases. But, the convenience of getting out of there quicker was the clincher.

I usually go to the Tool Shop checkout or Refunds/Exchange counter if the other are full and there is no line before the self checkout. Quicker and easier, plus they remind me about flybuys which I always forget.

It's a relatively new thing,

https://www.bunnings.com.au/help-support/flybuys

My local has the snag hut back. I've been going after work for emergency supplies if and when needed so I keep missing it, but tomorrow, I need to add a chain to my gas tanks to secure them to the wall, didn't realise that was a legislative requirement, so maybe I'll be lucky and can get one on the way in.

(and one on the way out)
