LIVID supermarket shoppers customers have vowed never to return to Asda over a feared increased the number of self-checkout.<\/p>\n

One said removing manned tills and increasing self-service checkouts at Asda will be a disaster in the run up to Christmas – one of the busiest times of the year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They added how a self-serve future is not what people at a branch in Cheltenham, Glos, want.<\/p>\n

They fumed on X: "I will no longer be going to your store and spending my money there because you have extended the self-checkout tills and removed nearly all the manned tills, right in the run up to one of the busiest times of the year.<\/p>\n

"This is not the future consumers want and I hope it hits your pockets hard."<\/p>\n

Other Asda stores are getting a pasting from shoppers, too.<\/p>\n

One shopper in Cambridgeshire said they were so hacked off with the self-checkout expansion they abandoned their groceries in protest.<\/p>\n

They wrote on Facebook: "Went to our local Asda (Wisbech) this morning for a few bits, I have complemented them before but….there were no manned checkouts open. <\/p>\n

"The lady in front of me said I can't use the self-checkouts and I said I won't.<\/p>\n

"I went to the staff person in charge of the self checkouts and asked for a manned checkout to be opened, explaining the situation and she refused citing no staff available.<\/p>\n

It is not clear if Asda has increased the number of self-checkout tills, or if manned tills just weren't open on the days the shoppers visited.<\/p>\n

Asda aren't the only store getting wrapped for cutting cashiers.<\/p>\n

One customer in Peterborough Waitrose blasted the posh nosh shop for causing queues after tearing out face-to-face tills.<\/p>\n

Two images posted online showed an empty self-checkout area and a long line of shoppers queuing for a manned till.<\/p>\n

They wrote: "People clearly don't like to be pushed into using self check-outs. Lord knows what Christmas will be like."<\/p>\n

A growing rebellion has grown against the alleged takeover of supermarket self-checkouts in recent years.<\/p>\n

One Facebook group called 'Keep Chashiers' has nearly 18,000 members who blame unmanned tills for causing queues, never being open and encouraging shoplifting.<\/p>\n

Asda and Waitrose have been approached for comment.<\/p>\n
