A couple of years after closing more tills to make way for self-service checkouts,

      .... things are changing, now in November 2023 ,

Supermarket completely abandons self-service to put staff back behind tills

In other words :

(incidental learning)

Supermarket chain rips out self-service tills in favour of the human touch  (Booths)

Booths supermarkets to ditch self-checkouts in north of England stores

Booths is to replace machines with human cashiers in all but two of its sites

Booths is removing self-checkouts from its shops

Booths is stripping out self-service checkouts

Booths scraps self-checkouts in nearly all UK stores

Booths has shared it will get rid of self-service tills in most stores.

The decision to move away from self-checkouts is a supermarket first,

Booths phases out self-service for fully-staffed checkouts

So

Good riddance to the nightmare of supermarket self-checkout tills
