Man using self-service till on verge of emotional breakdown
A man using a self-service till for the first time appears on the verge of tears after being informed yet again of an âunexpected item in baggingÂ areaâ. The unidentified man was ushered to the self-service areaÂ by a Tesco worker who noticed he was queuing to be served by an actual human being. As one witness described, âThey told him it would be easy, they said âjust scan your items and put them in theÂ bagsâ. I donât think anyone expected it would degenerate into this.â âIâve been up and down three aisles and heâs still not finished scanning his six items. I think I just saw a tear rolling down his face.â âAll I can hear him muttering, louder and louder, is âhow can it be unexpected??â âThen he got a bit loader still, telling the computer âThis is your goddamn job, to expect things going into the bag, itâs bloody toilet roll for gods sake, thereâs hardly anything unexpected about toilet roll!â.â âThen he just sat down and started rocking backwards and forwards whilst it demanded he scan his clubcard.â âI think that technically speaking, Iâm actually watching someone get bullied by a till.â Tesco clubcard holder Simon Williams said he felt sympathy for the man, but was unable to offer any assistance due to the fact that he himself had cried at the self-service tills many times. He told us, âThere is only so many times you can be told off by an automated till before it really starts to damage you psychologically.â âPlus, if I have to watch one more person scan their entire shopping basket and THEN put it all into bags, I might kill someone.â
