Till Slip Check Technicians

[RedViking]

Do they actually make a difference?

You get to the door with your hands full of packets. This random oke looks at you as if boredom is gonna kill him soon, the only thing that keeps him alive is

"slip!".

So you awkwardly position all 10 packets on one arm, realised you can't even bench 1KG, same time feeling around for where the hell you put that slip, wallet dropping on floor, cellphone going the opposite direction. Found it!

He takes a peek into one of the packets as if his future is in there, draws a line over one of the random items as if he just completed a task on Trello, wipes his nose, hands you the anointed slip and returns to the position of "life is gonna end soon".

What is the purpose of these Till Slip Check Technicians, except for causing congestion at the exit?

Same annoyance. Both usually located near the door.

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

Yeah annoyance I agree
But Ive gotten used to the regular ones, like Builders Whorehouse and such so Im prepared for it.

Builders you get this nice stamp at least and a button you can press that says "do not recommend" .

They built a new Makro here in Gerhebabeth... A massive building, state of the art with solar panels and blah blah blah. Hundreds of parking spaces and thousands of people in and out daily, about 25 tills but still only two slip techs at the exit...

And these furkers nearly always hit you in the nuts when the swing that sign back and forward to dry the floor..

most theft happen where the stuff enters the shop, at the back.
This one guy, check my stuff and said , "but you pay for two and here is only one",

One of the few jobs where you can fart and wave it away without looking suspicious.

At least it their packets are clear, so it speeds up the process

When visiting Maseru I sometimes stop at a Quik Shop type place at a petrol station to pick up a snack or two.

The till slip technician there carries a 12 gauge shotgun so I happily oblige.

 

[backstreetboy]

Much better than the non-existent meat technician...

That's why I avoid the place as much as possible.

That and they ended their relationship with eBucks.

I had no idea they ended the eBucks, that was the only reason I got an eBucks card.
Oh well

Like SmuGS said. They build this magnificent new store here and it takes longer to get checked by these useless buggers than to get to a cashier.

There's no way they'd get away with this at a Walmart.

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting they're part of Massmart

It has never bothered me in the slightest, but they hardly check thoroughly. I doubt that it is stopping crime, more a deterrent than anything else.

It is not about checking thoroughly or every item at most stores after I asked one of them (food lovers market) . He said they just need to pick two random items in the packets and then see if those items are on the slip.
