<p>'Our' Sainsburys actually is one of the better supermarkets around after trying out others in different areas. And the staff there are friendly.</p>
<p>We could just put a bit of pressure on the management to have a few more tills staffed. </p>

<p>Used Tesco Colney Hatch again (Friday late morning). Nine manned conveyor-belt checkouts were operating, a lot more than I have previously seen. Sainsburys take note!</p>

<p>Yes this is what I am hoping will happen Justin. I am well aware the world is moving towards automation but I think there are limits and humans do want social contact. I am not totally against automation when it makes life more convenient but I find these self-service don't do that. The staff are still needed when you can't find items, or it's not working. It's often total chaos in there. And as you say I am sure there are quite a few thefts</p>

<p>I hope the limits are reached soon and we can return to having more people at the check outs. Over the years we get to know these people and pass the time of day. When self check out is busy, they have a terrible job to cope with it all. </p>

<p>Most supermarkets are cutting back on check outs operated by cashiers. The plan is to get rid of all of them and reduce staff numbers and even to go completely digital and eventually to use biometrics when we pay for goods. Amazon Fresh stores are 'leading the way' to that. Some supermarkets already operate on no cashiers basis and few take cash. </p>
