You always need someone, 1 operator per 4 s/serve.
I have used the self serve checkouts overseas, NZ, USA and Asia and i love them.
Also the selve serve checkouts are part of the '2010' store refit program, not sure if they will be installed in the older layout stores??
Personally as we have an almost critical staff shortage in our store, i would like to see our express lanes ripped out and 4-6 self serve checkouts installed, would allow 3 more operators on big checkouts and 1 to run the express lane.
Works in NZ/USA and Asia so i cant see why it cant work over here, no ones loosing jobs they are being utilised elsewhere.
Self serve can be just as fast as normal checkouts as you have one person floating around helping and speeding things up.
I beleive the first store in WA due to get them is Murray Street which is one fucked up store! then i guess the 2010 layout stores will be refitted then they might be rolled out to country areas.
Though, they should be installed in the high sales stores first.
Cant wait to actually use the woolies self serve checkouts, i assume they are the exact same as the Big W ones except with woolies/safeway logos etc and has look ups for products.
Most of the companys and i believe BIG W use NCR
