      Not a joke as such, but a doctors surgery that has merged with another local surgery has just posted its new telephone number on facebook.

      Some bright spark has posted underneath.

      "I bet that number takes you to the nearest funeral directors".

                          Just read this and I thought it was good, not a joke but very true.


                          Dear Asda,Tesco , Morrisons, and all other stores that have self checkout —
                          You are almost exclusively self-checkout now. The last time I was there the lady checking receipts at the exit stopping everyone.
                          I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, so I just skipped the exit line and left. I heard her saying "Sir, Um Sir” as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.
                          You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be. I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you. You want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem not mine. Don’t Audit me for a position you refuse to employ any longer.
                          Signed,
                          All of us

                            I like the theory but the practice is that you can't pay and check-out without having the receipt checked. The till/computer tells her how many items to check before it can be put through the till so I always put small items in the top of the bag and that get checked in a few seconds.

                              I refuse to self-check out. The only time I was told I would have to I said I would just leave my trolley there and go elsewhere and an assistant did it all for me. I have never been back to that particular store.

                                I use self checkout for small quantities, it seems to work and no one checks your till receipt.

                                I get fed up because its so easy to upset the machinery, if you move the bag while putting something in it, it gets all upset and starts wanting know where the bag has gone, or if you put something down in the wrong place it assumes you are a thief.
