    Gone by year’s end? Coles shopper shares self-service checkout warning, retail giant responds

    In my area we have had the cashless check outs in most of our bigger stores for years. There is always two check outs that take cash . Which is sad. I always think these machines have taken jobs away from people who probably could use a job.

    Woolies shopper allegedly accused of theft due to frustrating self-checkout error

    I haven't been accused of theft from the self checkouts but I stopped using them as I like the personal touch of saying hi to the checkout ladies or gents. Though I think the younger checkout people aren't taught to pack bags anymore. But I still like the personal touch. 🙂

    Another supermarket item just got more expensive, and shoppers are NOT happy!

    What I have seen in the supermarkets is a lot more people are checking prices before they put the items in their trolleys. From the older people to the young people. I'm also doing same thing and these days you have to so you don't too much over your budget.
