I think generally speaking the self service counter are annoying, even at New World.

I believe the warehouse will continue, however, it will never have growth, or increasing profitability to such an extent that it is considered to be a good investment. At least not in the near future. It is overpriced.
I've been with paper loss not longer after I bought and never came back. I haven't sold because isn't a lot however I paid $3.74 and I thought if I hold it long enough it might come back. I acknowledge my mistake of buying straight from broker recommendation when I was after a dividend stock having asked about HLG at that time. Anyway is a learning experience and btw I think HLG at that time was around $5.

I do my best to avoid them.
Luckily The New World at St.Martins, which is our nearest, has a couple of express lanes which seem to work OK.
I like shopping at Moorhouse Ave Pak'nSave, as they always have plenty of full service check outs operating.

There is no upside to WHS trading, maybe the next announcement will be a 2% increase in sales, but generally over the long term it will be flat sales and flat profits, until it selltels down to a SP around $1. Then I would suggest, buy and hold a few for a reasonable return.
Every dog will find its best bed to sleep in, and when that comes the $1-00 will be fair value.

THE POWER OF ONE.!
Well I did go back.Had to buy AA batteries ......Bunnings pack of 30.. $14.99 ..KMart pack of 24 ..$5.00.Had the KMart ones three years ago and they lasted a good while,in fact I think longer than Bunnings'.
Nice friendly young assistant at the front entrance,who directed me straight to where the batteries were on display.Then she helped me with the selfservice, when she saw I was having difficulties.
All it takes in retail is one friendly helpful staff member.

The only problem is the last time I went to K-mart in Riccarton, there was only one staff member at the checkout complex. If they were already dealing with a Percy, or perhaps not so friendly in the first place you are out of luck. I would say K-mart are one step away from permanently locking the front door and becoming a mail order operation only.

At K -Mart St Lukes , the last few times I have been there the queue was very long and this was not on a long weekend or any big sale day. Patronage seems to have increased, where as a the local WHS , much less of a queue from observations - steady but no long queue.
Discl: None held

Just a few friendly helpful staff make such a difference.
I would have thought it was a "no brainer."
