anchors.jpg

 

Very good idea to warn people of this

Very good sign colours

very good size - nice and clear

one on each side just to make it obvious

 

 

not exactly sure how many walkers and cyclists - and possibly horse riders - actually carry anchors

however, people in boats on the river may be closer to the target market - if only it faced them so they could read it!!!

 

 

EDIT - changed photo as it uploaded upside down - damn computers - they'll never catch on!!!

@mikeprice were you drunk when you took the picture, or in the middle of a crash as it appears to be upside down ;)

1. You are at pump number?...

2. Pay for fuel with BP me, AND leave your phone in your car.

 

:rolleyes:

 

*I realize that BP me is a phone app, but getting back in the car after refuelling would have raised concerns in the kiosk in the past and will still seem odd to me as a customer.

No matter how much time he spent on that, he couldn't improve it one bit!

 

It suits him, and sums him up perfectly, it seems!

It even looks a bit like he's wearing a tinfoil hat!

Ordered some lights from Next last night - they arrived in the store before lunch so I went to get them

 

all good so far

 

not really the colour we expected but that happens so I went back to the store to return them

 

turns out they have a new system for self service returns - staff member showed me where it was and I told her I would be OK with it (yup - got that 'old person(!) probably can;t do computerised stuff' look)

 

Anyway - back to the point

 

pressed start (see I'm kinda getting the hang of these new fangled computer things now)

 

it wanted me to scan the bar code

 

sooo- design problem number 1

it is clearly set up for scanning the bar code of clothes - so the scanner is about 2 inches above the surface of the unit - not really very good when scanning a cardboard box

but just about managed to get it under the light and it worked

 

Good system - it has 2 cupboards with pull down drawer that you cna open - put the item in and close it - it probably drops the item to the bottom

 

so - it tells me to put the item in drawer number 2

 

design problem 2

drawer 2 is never going to be big enough for that box - the system needs a size check for the item - it must have one to work out which drawer to put it in - but it seems a bit lacking

 

so now it is waiting for me to confirm I have put it in the drawer and closed the drawer

 

Design problem number 3

Lack of any button to say there is a problem or that you are giving up

Hence the lady behind me couldn't use the system while I went to find a member of staff to sort it out!

 

SO I go and find a member of staff - just talking to her when Design problem number 4 crops up

 

The lady who was behind me at the returns station comes over - she had got fed up and pressed 'done' on the screen to try and get her stuff returned

so - because I hadn;t been able to cancel my return - it printed out MY receipt when I wasn;t there

 

luckily she was a nice and honest person and came over and gave me the receipt

 

turns out that, even though I had put nothing into the drawer, the system had registered the item as returned

I presume the staff rescan everything in the cupboard before actual money is refunded - but still a problem

 

 

Overall - it looks like a good system

probably given to a project team that was understaffed and told a deadline without actually working out how long it would take to design and write

 

 

now if I was on the team then clearly it would have been perfect

as anyone who worked with me in the old days could attest - but none of them are on here - I hope
