In regards to Lee's reply, from my experiences at least, self service tills normally puts offers in either as you scan them or the stage after that, today I got up to the stage where it was select payment method and it was still wanting £3.98.
My annoyances seem to be getting on everyone's nerves now, so I now feel like I'm going to have to stop but I got myself into a right state this morning and it seems like if I continue down the path I'm going down, I am going to end up with everyone either wanting nothing to do with me or just ripping me to shreads behind my back. Now at the stage where as well as getting annoyed, I am also worrying about what people are making of it and I am just getting worse as every day seems to pass.
Sorry to those who are sick of me but thanks to the people who are willing to put up with me moaning.
Personally I find self-service tills very annoying to us and try to avoid them. I also feel they are merely a way of generating even large profits for retailers and cutting back on jobs. I prefer old fashioned face to face customer service. There's been a couple of times when I've given up when using self-service tills and went elsewhere.
Jimmi - I wouldn't feel bad with yourself about it, we all have had experiences with technology letting us down.
