Coles needs to calm tf down with the scan toilet paper first policy. The attendant at self checkouts today was so aggressive, patrolling the queue like she was searching for contraband and getting up close pointing at peoples trolleys and literary intervening at the checkouts, stopping them mid scan and making them put down whatever was in their hand loudly telling them to scan TP or soft drink slab etc first. It’s offensive.
Someone taking the job a bit too seriously. At my local they couldn't give a shit.
I got watched today because I had a lot of luxury goodies like smoked salmon, caviar and cheeses. She walked away when I only bread rolls left to scan. Yet some poor old bastard was waiting to be let out of his corral. I told him to whack it with his walking stick.
I hate it, getting treated like a criminal. (But it sounds like there’s gonna be a super nice platter at your place this week!)
Tonight!
what if people have a large family?
😡
It’s not a quantity issue, they have a policy where they insist people scan big items first. I can’t understand it, I’m guessing they think you will steal it? Look I may have gone up a size in recent times, but no way is a 24 pack of TP fitting in my pocket.
