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.

Well why don't you just never use them if a flexible system is too much for you and let everyone else enjoy the convenience a more flexible system gives.

Because if you could remember from the start of this, I use them because ASDA don't bother to staff the main tills properly.

Thats to keep overheads down so the foods cheap. Asda has less than a 5% gross profit margin. If you don't like that use a Butchers or Farm shop and pay twice as much.

You can't have cheap food and staff coming out of yours ears.

So I have the choice of being held up myself if I use the understaffed 'normal' tills, or I hold up other people if I use the self-scan. As I said, if they staff the main tills then I will use them, otherwise, tough, self-scan here I come.

How very considerate.

Maybe, but perhaps ASDA were more inconsiderate by replacing basket only checkouts with self-scan in the first place.

Why? To save on cost for a business with an extremely low profit margin anyway?

Like I said, if you don't like it, pay twice as much then at a Butchers or Farm shop.

I don't see how placing 2 self service tills in the same space where you could only fit 1 manned till is inconsiderate.

I know, he's just looking for things to complain about.
