A Tesco shopper has started a petition calling for a return to staff on tills as she struggled to use self-service machines. Pat McCarthy, 69, has started a petition calling for more cashiers and more than 99,000 people have already signed.
Ms McCarthy launched the campaign after visiting a store where 75% of tills were self service, reports the BBC. She 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."
Ms McCarthy said there were just five or six till with cashiers in the large supermarket - meaning the queues were 30 minutes long - when she recently visited, adding: "You do need some self-service for the people who find them more convenient but just fewer."
