Is it just me .....

... or have Tesco recruited a whole infantry of sausage-fingered, ponderous check-out assistants? And what happened to the 'we'll always open another checkout' pledge? Can you guess I'm just back from a slow shopping trip?

I don't mind that much, after all, I'm not going to save the world, or undertake a bit of brain surgery in the extra two minutes my queueing takes!

.....dont even go there with my Partner, he came in moaning about Tesco checkout operators last night lol (sorry if you are one!) x

It must be the way they are trained, we have exactly the same up here!

Tescos by me are always slow too! We have just started shopping at ASDA instead!

I never use Tesco, really don't like the service in there. I much prefer Asda, they're much friendlier at the c/outs, always willing to chat as you pack!

I have got to know the girls in our Asda quite well, they are really friendly....

I think it's just a problem with the service industries in general, although some places do seem to have better training for their checkout staff. Not just a problem in the UK, I was at the Safeway this morning and there was only one Express checkout open ......with 15 people in the line!!!! hair pulling, eye rolling foot tapping time!!

I shop in Sainsburys mostly...... I find the checkout operators very friendly, they always ask if anyone needs help with packing ...... the downfall is they never have enough tills open

My pet hate is Somerfields! I detest shopping in there, there is only ever 2 tills open and people queing to the back of the shop. Makes my blood boil!!

Changing the subject slightly. I read in my local paper tonight that Lidls are planning on opening 2 stores in Telford, subject to planning approval. I might get some of these bargains yet, woo hoo!!
