Why on earth do the retail outfit expect me to do the job (unpaid) of one of their checkout staff?

They want me to put my goods though the till for them, they can pay me for it.

And my daily rates are a f*ck sight higher than they'd normally pay for that position.
[EDIT]

And what does f*ck sight mean, anyway? It's obviously a strengthening of "damn sight", but what does that mean?

I presume it's sight, rather than site - but neither make any sense....
nonsense - they're great - it gives you the chance only to scan every other item and pay half price....
................and lie about which bakery item you may have bought.

Those things are more hassle than they are worth. It lets you scan about 2 things before saying 'assistance required' meaning a member of staff always has to be supervising the self check out - so it doesn't save on labour costs. Then there's the constant arguments I have with them about 'putting the item in the bagging area'. It's there you fecking stupid machine!
I bought a can of pop and a yorkie the other day, and used said tills
having some checkout supervisor tell me despite not needing a bag, i still needed to place items in the bagging area
that f*cked me off mildly!

Tell you what annoys me, folk that use those self-checkout things but can't!

You know the ones who can't understand the simple process, item, scan, bag.

Delivery companies.

You know the ones, you order online, they turn up you're not in then they leave a card asking for you to re-arrange delivery.

You make plans to be off work and IN between 7-7 one day then the morons get it wrong and don't turn up.

These companies are refuges for feckless, moronic imbeciles.

They provide the worst possible service and then blame you, the customer for not being able to sit in your house for 12 hours a day ad infinitum.

I'd ban em all, and all the unwashed who drive, and work for them.

Royal Mail are amazing in comparison. Amazing!

Thats why they're getting rid of it. Feckless morons cost less (to the compnay that is, they'll charge you more).

Self-service is great, it can't pick up small items so you can stick them in the bag for free.......if you're that way inclined.

Perhaps if they had some training they wouldn't be morons? And would be able to have a conversation without sniffing, going errrrrrrrrrrrrr, would realise that unlike their mates most people have jobs that actually mean they can't sit at home all day, and also could take some responsibility for you know their job!

Are you sure you're not getting confused with the Council there?

People who don't turn up for interviews and don't let you know beforehand. Thus delaying me from being in Label to drink as much lager as possible before going for a curry and feeling rough all tomorrow morning!

Anyway, god bless Sky Player. I much prefer watching SA Smash it to all parts than interviewing anyway!

Royal Mail are amazing!

I went working for Parceline after my first stint with Royal Mail thinking it would be better,you know what with how they all have the newest machinery as the goverment and all the hangers on spout everytime we strike and they where in a word SHIT.
They had loads of deadlegs(mainly mancs!) who stole stuff off your van and put it into their own so you had to have eyes in the back of your head,I had to mark all the parcels with a marker when scanning them into the scanner to go on the van otherwise they disappeared,and when you went out you was encouraged to whizz round like a moron and when knowbody came to the door to bog off as soon as possible as then they would either have to Pay again for a delivery OR request it again and make them sit in again waiting all day,the Manc t.wat who showed me round my route(round Todmorden,Rochdale etc)said he found it `funny` when somebody had rang up and requested you deliver between say 2p.m or 4 p.m and then you turn up at 5.30p.m and they have gone out so you can slip a card in

I said to him what about when they complain about you showing up at 5.30p.m he said just tell them that you got stuck in the next town in a traffic jam!
I was a shit Parceline driver because I use to go back if I was still in the town and try and re-deliver the parcels and I got a written warning for coming back late so I told them to stick it up their harris after 6 weeks and went back to Royal Mail.
Mind you the top brass at Royal Mail are intent on moving all the local offices to some new super mega industrial warehouse type buildings,our office is now near a scrap yard and people moan about having to go there and pick up their parcels,just wait till they have to go to Manchester for the feckers.
I agree with you BWFC INSANE the courier firms are fecking shit.

I know fella. I have to collect my mail a couple of times a week, and have been doing so for several years. The queus get longer as more and more people use the same office, there are less and less staff about, more irate customers. It makes me laugh when the thought police crack on about Royal Mail inefficiency. I've seen them run it down with my own eyes as a customer.

Royal Mail - lets deliver at 9.15 then be surprised folk aren't in, then ask for a full day+ to get it back to the sorting office

Then, when I turn up to collect, get told, 'sorry, can't find it, 3 of 'em haven't turned in'

Suffice to say, they were advised to find it sharpish

Burn it down

The most frustrating thing is the rigmarole of having to have them not deliver it to you in the first place. If you could just be allowed to choose the address and day then that's one journey they needn't have to make. Very annoying
