Dear Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's, Lid, Aldi, Waitrose, Morrisons, and all other stores that have self checkout.
You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now.
The lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping
everyone.
I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already
🛒 filled my cart
🛒 emptied my cart
🛒 scanned the items
🛒refilled my cart
and so I just skipped the exit line and left.
I heard her saying "umm - Excuse me " as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.
You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.
I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.
• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's vour problem not mine.
• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.
YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.
YOU DON'T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU.
Signed ....All of us
These are jobs that are needed to have for young and old

The Octavius was an 18th-century ghost ship discovered off the coast of Greenland in 1775. Initially assumed to be empty upon being sighted, when boarded, a spine-shivering sight awaited.
Below the deck, they came across the entire crew, completely frozen. The captain sat rooted, almost stoically, at the table in front of him with a pen still in hand and his log laid out before him.
Written there was the log’s last entry, dated November 11, 1762, and its last recorded position marked their location about 250 miles north of Alaska’s arctic coast.
The ghost ship had been adrift for thirteen years before its discovery, meandering aimlessly for hundreds of miles. And the complete picture is even more chilling.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The ship is most likely fictitious, no proof exists about it having existed or that the story is true. The picture is a generic ghost ship pic, used e.g. here: grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/news/grimsby-n…

Statement with from the Piapot family who adopted Buffy Sainte-Marie in light of a CBC Fifth Estate doc allegedly denying her Indigenous identity due to air this Friday.
“An icon’s claims to Indigenous ancestry are being called into question by family members and an investigation that included genealogical documentation, historical research and personal accounts,” the description for the October 27 episode reads.
This has sparked debate and shock on social media as the calling out of “pretendians” and identity fraud has gained momentum in recent years.
Buffy’s adopted family stands by her, “The accusations which are about to be made of our Auntie Buffy are hurtful, ignorant, colonial - and racist.
No one, including Canada and its governments, the Indian Act, institutions, media or any person anywhere can deny our family's inherent right to determine who is a member of our family and community,” reads part of the statement.

Prince Harry makes a very good point re the damage done to trust in your own circle when stories appear and you have no idea where they come from. Some of the biggest fall-outs I had in No 10 arose from suspicions about who was briefing out confidential information 1/4

I'm at BBC HQ in London where there is a statue of George Orwell and his words
"If Liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear."
Watch the vid 🙏🏼

I understand that the King asked for this poem by @malcolmguite to be read at the Royal Carol Service. It deserves to be read everywhere this Christmas.

Attention Ontario. This is what's happening right now as you're being told the pendemic is over, and as the remaining protections are being dropped.
