Show me the total
Does it drive you mad when you go shopping you add up what you spend and expect to pay @ check out – the way alot of the till are positioned these days with screens you cannot see them ringing up everything and in turn you cannot see the tally on what you owe, then to top it off you have to ask what the total is. Then the final cherry is when they happily swipe you card swing the machine around and you need to input your pin number – again all the while you have not seen the total. Thumbs up to woolies though I see they have new machines in store and you can see the total amount going off your card before you enter your pin – the restaurants and the likes could use a lesson or two. OK sure it is automated now etc however a few times I have had the item wrung up at a different amount and once had the card go off as the wrong amount – I am one person – technology is supposed to make us work smarter – not faster and more untidily – lazy – keep the checks and balances in place and the consumer informed – show them what they are paying – for each item and in the total….
