The phrase "silver surfer" wouldn't have been coined unless it was an exception to the rule.

But it's not an exception, it's a massive group.

No more massive than, say, people in their 30s using the internet and they don't have their own name. The very reason that "silver surfers" have a name is that they are notable.

Well if it's the same as people in their 30's using the internet it's not going to be an exception to the rule!

The notable reason being age not numbers.

Do you have to have a sign?

Let me see. Situation 1 - big sign saying "Customers with 10 items or fewer". No problem I won't queue there.

Situation 2 - I queue up to use the self-scan, and when I get to the front of the queue I get told I have to go to another till.

Hmm, I wonder which makes more sense.

Now what if they don't mind you going there unless it's busy? Are they allowed to speak to you then? Because a sign won't work when you have a system that may change if it's busy.

I don't give a damn whether they speak to me or not. What I want is clear and unambiguous information before I have wasted my time either queueing or walking from one end of the tills to the other.

because I am one of those oh-so-self-righteous people who like to think they are employing 'some' of the masses by going to a till with a payed person on it.


Do I sound priggish?

Me too. Sod it I'm getting old enough to not care what I sound like too.
