I normally use the self service tills at Asda because they're normally quicker, but they can be a collosal pain in the arse. There's one at Asda that come up with an error for almost every item that you place in the bagging area and you have to pick it up and put it back down again a couple of times before it's happy with the weight of it. Most of the staff who look after them are completely incompetent too, half the time if you're buying booze they'll be standing there doing nothing while you scan the rest of the shopping and by the time you've finished and really need them to authorise it they're helping someone else - only once have I ever had someone there come over to authorise my booze before I was ready to pay. These days I go to a normal check out if I'm buying booze. The self check outs down give you sweets either (the guy at the til earlier gave me a sweet).
