    The experience depends entirely on which shop you go to, how much space there is for your trolley, which model of self-checkout you encounter, how well the touch screen is calibrated and cleaned, which software version is installed and when the last time was that maintenance was done on it, not to mention what state the previous user left it

    In other words, it’s a stressful and moving feast that many, myself included, absolutely detest.





  • Sorry, I deleted my comment because when I zoomed in even further, I discovered that the grey areas didn’t specifically include Perth. I tried to reinstate it.

    My original comment was:

    Something squirrelly about this chart.

    I live in Western Australia where it shows grey areas bigger than some countries. The grey colours are presumably missing data, except that smack in the middle of those is the capital of Western Australia, Perth and several other populations centers.

    I can’t link the grey to isolated, since much of the continent is sparsely populated. The lower south west of Australia has a higher population than the rest of that state, but that’s in contrast with the north west where there’s not many people as all.




  • Well, I’ve turned on that feature as a test (after the question was posted) and I saw your reply just fine. That’s no difference from how it’s been before I turned on the feature.

    What has never worked for me (I’m not sure if it’s a bug or by design) is a notification for a reply to your reply. I only ever see notifications of direct replies, not indirect ones.

    In other words, if someone replies directly to me, I know about it, but if someone replies to that reply, I don’t.
