I would prefer them, but for their one massive fail, which seems a feature in most of the shops i experience it in: I'm reasonably proficient with it, moving at a decent above average pace, but there are moments where optimal packing takes a second or two, and during that momentary delay, without fail the damn machines will tell me that I should scan things... Like I've suddenly had an aneurysm and can't recall what I'm doing in this place! This comes after I've usually done plenty of scanning, enough to prove that I clearly know what I'm doing. Why don't they make them shut up completely in this patronising regard (we're decades past the 90s!) or at the very least make them not tell you when it's clear you've attained scanning mastery level?! I should work on ignoring non-sentient machines but it's the idiocy of the programmer that nags at me. It's nearly worth interviewing at Waitrose or Tesco's for... "Why do you want this job?" "I am driven by a passion to fix your automated tills, forever, for all mankind!"
