Shoppers at Tesco in Carlton are in agreement with a petition that wants to stop the roll out of self serve card only tills in supermarkets. The petition, which has more than 160,000 signatures, says these types of tills are not accessible for many including the elderly.
The woman who started the campaign, Pat McCarthy, said: "These new tills are not accessible for people who don't have credit cards and can only use cash or those with little confidence to use these self-service card-only tills - myself included.
"People such as carers, older people, disabled people with mobility problems or lifting problems have to queue waiting for more than 30 minutes." She claims that Tesco is bringing in new self-service and sort-it-out-yourself card only till machines.
