| The number of people signing the petition has risen even further from when the story was covered last week with 165,000 signing. I'm an enthusiast for the self-serve tills as it enables shopping to be done quickly and easily. The added benefit is that we tend to do more shops and don't overstock so wastage is avoided and we don't need to use the car as often. One thing that seems to be becoming apparent is an increase in the number of people using cash - a reversal of the trend of the past decade. It is hard not to conclude that this is being caused by the banks and credit card companies restricting more people's cards. Even when cash is an option on the self-serve it doesn't work that well so means people who are already struggling have another small humiliation. Tesco, and all the main supermarkets need to think how they will adapt to these changed circumstances. |
