The co-op self-service tills have had a UI change!
I've years of muscle memory dedicated to the old UI. I can hit the options before it prompts and stop the till chatting at me.
Now it's different for no good reason and I'm left with the till prompting me like I've never used self-service before.
They changed the voice too!

@dtl@8bitorbust.info oh you have the good ones. i'm used to self checkouts that block input and you have to listen to it finish talking to you before it'll scan the next item. Absolutely infuriating and slower than a human cashier.

@dtl@8bitorbust.info Tesco's self-service tills used to have an on-screen volume button, which would toggle between VERY LOUD, Loud, Bearable and (gloriously) completely off. Always used to tap that until I got the desired setting before doing anything else. Sadly they had a UI update many years ago and that customer-friendly option was obviously one of the features that was ditched.
