Dear Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's, Lid, Aldi, Waitrose, Morrisons, and all other stores that have self checkout.

You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now.

The lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping
everyone.

I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already

🛒 filled my cart
🛒 emptied my cart
🛒 scanned the items
🛒refilled my cart

and so I just skipped the exit line and left.

I heard her saying "umm - Excuse me " as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.

You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.

I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.

• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's vour problem not mine.

• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.

YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.

YOU DON'T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU.

Signed ....All of us

These are jobs that are needed to have for young and old

@MartinSLewis So, I goto several widow(er)s groups, and several members said that they would always use the manned checkouts as during the lockdown this was often the only opportunity to talk to someone.

Loneliness sucks. Supermarkets are potentially providing an important social service.

This is lovely 🌻

[Maarten VdA @maartenvda]

A Dutch supermarket chain introduced slow checkouts for people who enjoy chatting, helping many people, especially the elderly, deal with loneliness.
The move has proven so successful that they installed the slow checkouts in 200 stores.

Unexpected item in bagging area.

We are all beautiful until we are judged by the self checkout camera

Good news 🥂🍾🌻💕

Nice to have another reason to fold some origami cranes - the good karma thank you gift I send to film fests that screen my film @approval_needed & spread its message of tolerance, kindness & love. It’s sadly even more important than ever.

New Year, New Screening for Approval Needed https://t.co/v7DvO8s3nK

[Karen Anstee @kazanstee]

Great female led fest. @approval_needed screened in 2019. We had big audience & fantastic time. Particularly loved that accessibility was a forethought, so #EkowOtoo, the wheelchair user / actor in my film, could attend without any fuss ❤️#womeninfilm #RepresentationMatters

[Karen Anstee @kazanstee]

Please come along to see @approval_needed this Thursday evening at @TheBoogaloo pub in Highgate. Entry is free & it will be a fun night featuring 7 short films ❤️🎥🎞🎬🍸❤️
