PRIMARK shoppers have been left furious over a "disgusting" change made to in-store checkouts.<\/p>\n

The high street retailer has been introducing self-service checkouts at stores across the country since last year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They were first rolled out at\u00a0sites in\u00a0Sheffield,\u00a0Northampton,\u00a0West Bromwich\u00a0and Kingston as part of a trial in autumn 2022.<\/p>\n

The move was in a bid to reduce huge queuing times which are all too familiar to\u00a0Primark\u00a0shoppers – but not all shoppers are convinced.<\/p>\n

Writing in the Bexleyheath News and Gossip Facebook group, one shopper was less than thrilled to find self-service tills had been introduced at their local Primark.<\/p>\n

They said: "I went to Primark Bexleyheath yesterday and found the downstairs tills have been changed to five to fix self-service and three to four manned tills. <\/p>\n

"Leading up to Christmas be warned it will be a nightmare."<\/p>\n

Fellow Primark fans rushed to comment on the checkout change, and many of them were livid.<\/p>\n

One shopper wrote: "Disgusting..I'm not a fan of the store anyway, but that has really put me off."<\/p>\n

Another added: "Absolutely ridiculous. I hate them self service tills." <\/p>\n

While a third fumed: "I just don\u2019t use them. I want to be served by a human being."<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Primark said they were "sorry" to hear that shoppers had been experiencing local queues at the Bexleyheath store.<\/p>\n

They said:\u00a0"The festive period is always a very busy time in our stores. Our\u00a0teams are working hard\u00a0to help ensure everyone has an enjoyable shopping experience including doing all they can to keep any queues moving.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"So far, customers have really welcomed the increased choice, especially when they have a small purchase or are pressed for time.<\/p>\n

"We'll of course continue to review how we can improve any queueing times during the coming busy weeks."<\/p>\n
