@libroraptor @anne_twain @Gustodon @georgepenney i guess there are cultures clashing here in some way. e.g. in most of europe everyone packs themselves, there is just the person who takes all the items off the conveyor belt scans them and places them behind the scanner for you to pack yourself.

 @anne_twain @glowl @Gustodon @georgepenney Writing the prices on everything with a shop-supplied marker pen – was a branding innovation in New Zealand in the 1980s, I think. The Write Price chain made their identity that way. They faded away. Now Pak-n-Save is about packing your own in bare-bones warehousing, a bit like Aldi. Woolworths is a mix, depending on who's on staff at what time of day and what mood they're in. New World and Fresh Choice are still full-service. @glowl @libroraptor @anne_twain @Gustodon @georgepenney |
@glowl @libroraptor @Gustodon @georgepenney Yes, I think there's some variation. Having stuff packed for you is the norm in Australia. Customers bring their own re-usable bags too. But we do have Aldi where you have to pack your own.
