As i entered my local Argos store I bought what i required from the self serve kiosk and went to stand in line for my item to come. There was no one manning these tills at this time which I understood maybe they were short staffed. Upon seeing my item arrive on the shelf, myself and a few others were still stood waiting with no one to serve. Again I understand short staffing is a problem, upon another staff member noticing our wait they called upon another staff member to come serve. Two staff members appeared and proceeded to open two tills, neither of which were at the self serve checkout. Upon witnessing this i grew tired and proceeded to collect the item of the shelf myself and leave my receipt there for proof of purchase. I quite literally served myself which begs the question, if there are staffing issues, why are they needed at all?
