The parliamentary panel on social integration, chaired by Chuka Umunna, who defected from the Labour Party in February to found Change UK, made the proposal in a report released last week.
You should get 10% off for using self service not the other way round. Plus i like beer and hate having to wait around for the assistant to finish their cosy chat. Wherever possible i use independent shops
What a load of utter bollocks! Why is it that politicians answer to everything is to add yet another tax!
No
I refuse to use them. I do not work for the supermarket nor will I deliberately put cashiers out of work!
No I want a person to do it for me
How about 'MPs to resign to heal brexit division'? That would be a better fix!
NO
Are you kidding me?!
What’s the point?
Another good reason to get rid of MPs they’re idiots.
Charging me a penny to use the self checkout and suddenly all remoaners aren't wankers. Brilliant idea!
Is this serious lol...
No, I avoid them like the plague. Put 2 identical items thru one once, charged 2 prices so assistant had to take over! Local Asda insists customers use them unless they have a large shop.
mp's seem to be the dumbest people on the planet!
Ridiculous
NO, NO, NO
It would bring more people waiting in the cues, to be served, more people shopping elsewhere for too long waiting and only the wealthy in a rush would use them. The rest goes to shops who do not charge extra for buying their goods.
Ha!
You do the shopping. You do the scanning and You have to pay for the privilege of less staff in the shop. WTF!!!
Parliament has caused the generational division. I’ll queue at a checkout.
How in Holy Heaven will 'PAYING (to make a till operator redundant') HELP ANYBODY except the RETAILER? [A 'group of MPs - THAT EXPLAINS THE COMPLETE IDIOCY OF THE PROPOSAL!]
No. Selfservice is not a vending machine product.
No - they contribute to unemployment.
How on earth will this heal Brexit divisions and what idiot came up with the suggestion anyway? 🤔
In a word NO
I’m all for raising money to improve social inclusion, community facilities, schools and hospitals But do it by raising VAT or Income Tax - or duty on smoking or drink - don’t use a stealth tax!
wtf?
Utter rubbish & all lies about helping others .
Marxist MPs create division and appeal to one side or other for votes so they can create equality. In reality all they want is power to lord it over others and to keep their snouts in the trough.
No, in fact I would have to BE paid to use one.
Just a tax, plain and simple. If it comes in I’ll never use one again.
This is a joke right ?
That’s all we get, MPs say tax this, tax that.....plastic bag tax, takeaway cup tax, sugary drinks tax, now self checkout tax! Why can’t they just force the companies.. that are hardly short on profits.. to find viable alternatives, instead of taxing the customer!
How *in perdition* is making me pay an extra penny going to make me feel any more kindly to Millennials than I already do? Or will it make them long to take me into their own home, to nurture me in my dotage? The Telegraph should tell us how this transformation will happen!
The divide has been caused by the hatred and bigotry of left wing extremism. You are left wing extremists, as are the politicians you refer to.
Jesus wept. Do you even try to pretend to be a newspaper with real journalism and standards anymore?
Really I think Chuka is trying to short change us !🤪. Just because he trying to run a Change Party ..:-):-)
Next week: we'll pay off the national debt by creating lots of 10p pieces by cutting the corners off 50p pieces.
No: I wouldn't pay to use one because I wouldn't use one anyway.
I think I must be feeling a bit stupid this evening - can someone please explain to me how this will help ‘heal Brexit divisions’, apart from anything else I’m saving the supermarket money by using the self service check out why should I pay more?
Only in this country would such a ridiculous idea appear. Absolute fickwits.
No way
Never use them. Takes away people’s employment and besides, would much rather chat to a person on the checkout till.
Seriously 🙄 why are we paying to serve ourselves 🤷🏻♀️ it’s no faster when you need an assistant every 2 seconds anyway
Sounds like Chuka has completely lost the plot. Here’s a idea: rather than tax people more, trim a bit of foreign aid.
Pay? Why should I?
WTF?
Are they for real I avoid them at all possible. I’d pay extra not to use them. Although.. I could have stolen all my groceries this afternoon, as could everyone else in the store, as no member of staff was present at all.. marksandspencer
That's got to be twisted tory group think that only tories are capable of
Those machines take longer to use if I have more than 10 items so no I don’t think they should charge.
Lol, so charging ppl money 2 heal the division of a campaign that told lies lies lies. Brexit was suppose 2 save the ppl money not make them poorer.
😂
The supermarket's use self-checkout machines to stop them banking small change use these and you will be the Muppet with a pocket fill of small change!
I can't remember the last time I used a manned till. Always prefer self service or scan as you shop.
How much are mp,s creaming off that.
On what basis. Don't they think people are paying enough already? Why don't they stop claiming for every single penny so that money can be used in those projects.
No we pay enough bloody charges in this never ending Austerity country
No I would not!! Actually I should be getting a discount for processing my own shopping. Prefer to go to a till with a person thanks 👍🏻
Noooooo
WTF AND THIS FROM BRITAINS BIGGEST SPONGERS MPs Who in their right mind would open their mouths A seriously think this is any kind of idea (Nevermind a good one) The loonies are loose in parliament
MPs are proving how pathetic they are yet again. What will help the brexit divide is all those sad pathetic little traitors in parliament resigning. What will also help is a law being past that the media morons can be arrested for their part in trying to help the EU.
April fool! doh.
How long would it be before it went up to £1. Remember the congestion charge and the promises it came with. People will get over Brexit so long as democracy has been served. You just have to wonder what planet these MP’s come from.
Excellent reason to eschew democracy
WIT SO PAY FOR GROCERS THEM PAY TO TAKE THEM OUT THE SHOP ARE YOU AFF YOUR FRIGGIN HEADS
A proposal from Chuka. ‘Problem? I know, a tax will solve it’. Typical socialist. But this one is even more idiotic than most. His brain is just not wired right.
Nope.
Those MPs should be sacked immediately, what sort of an idea is that seriously? Braindead!
NO
This country has officially gone mad
Probably same MPs who will be desperate for a checkout job after next election....
Only if they call it the 'non sequitur bill'.
What! so 1p will heal the dreadful division brexit has caused will it?
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no - who are these MP'S - name and shame them please
That's not going to help.
No
Should be given a discount for doing yourself more like
Ridiculous .. what ever next
I’ve heard some shit talked about “Brexit” but fuck a duck this is by far the worst! Absolute joke!
Stop taxing every little thing that we do.. We live in a fascist state...
Is this for real?!! Quite apart from the fact that they are useless how on earth would that help reintegration?🤔😂😂
The shape of things to come should anti-democrat ChukaUmunna and ChangeUK ever get into power! Utterly ridiculous proposal!
Eh?
On the contrary; if I'm serving myself I expect a discount.
But the machine has to pay me 1p for every time that a supervisor has to come to get it working properly.
No I bloody well wouldn't I also prefer a REAL person thanks.. Create jobs.
Pay to do it yourself! Why don’t we book a table at a restaurant and cook our own food! 😳
Nope 👎🏻
No, I generally get paid to do work.
Why
Why tax someone for doing the work themselves?
NO
How exactly does charging for using self checkout heal brexit division?
So customers should pay for supermarkets cutting down staffing costs and it’s brexit’s fault? I’m all for blaming Brexit on most things but the rise of the machine is happening regardless.
Not a chance. I don't use them as they replace people's jobs.
YES and that 1p (make it 2p) can go towards the N.I. lost contributions because of automation. FURTHER we need a tax on ROBOTS in distribution centres.
I don’t use them. Is it to much to ask for these companies to employ people and pay a fair amount of tax?
Nope, I refuse to use them now.
Just queue for the normal till then
Good to see how in touch with ordinary people those MP's are...
Ridiculous suggestion to tackle a complex and serious issue.
Erm no. Get rid and just have check outs with real people. Theft would drop too
To heal the divide? Whoever had this brilliant idea needs so spend less time playing with his willy.
Britain has gone balmy mad! No wonder you fools can't sort out Brexit!
Think it’s an insult we have to use them in the first place. They are only there so supermarkets can employ less staff and make more money
No. I would not.
