Zurich HP travelers ignore the cash register controllers

Hardly anyone can get past it. The Migros branch at Zurich Main Station is indispensable for many travellers. Grab a sandwich on the way to work or do some quick shopping on the way home – you can find just about everything here. This attracts thousands every day.

And performs at the cash registers accordingly for the masses. The orange giant has long since supplemented checkouts with self-check-out counters.

There was a mess in front of the ex on a regular basis — because no one really understood where they stood in line. And any free sign out now.

Recently, a “pilot” was standing in front of the cashiers. Brings light into the darkness and instructs customers: “Exodus 4 is free.” Are you done messing around at HB-Migros?

Unfortunately not completely. “People don’t listen to me,” the in-charge controller complains one weekday, shaking his head. “You go out of four if you say six.” On-site inspection confirms this.

So how do you deal with crowds of commuters when shopping? Migros doesn’t seem to have any other solution ready either. Spokeswoman Annabelle Ott does not respond to the pilot being brushed off when Nau.ch asks.

Instead, she emphasized that the pilot concept is reliable: “Especially at peak times, it has demonstrated the feasibility of our staff in guiding customers in the area of ​​operated checkouts.” In this way, the payment process can be processed efficiently.

The huge branch at Zurich Main Station in the direction of the Landesmuseum has been recently renovated. It’s very popular – it gets overrun, especially at peak times.
