Morrisons has admitted it "went a bit too far" with self-checkouts.
Chief executive Rami Baitiéh says the supermarket is "reviewing the balance between self-checkouts and manned tills".
Some will be removed.
Mr Baitiéh told The Telegraph : "Morrisons went a bit too far with the self-checkout. This had the advantage of driving some productivity. However, some shoppers dislike it, mainly when they have a full trolley."
The executive also said self checkouts had driven more shoplifting.
What have other supermarkets said about self-checkouts?
In April, the boss of Sainsbury's said customers liked self-checkouts...
That prompted us to ask readers for their thoughts - and we carried out a poll on LinkedIn which suggested the Sainsbury's boss was right...
Asda's chief financial officer Michael Gleeson said last week the technology had reached its limit - and said his firm would be putting more staff on tills.
Northern grocer Booths ditched almost all self-checkouts last year amid customer service concerns.
Over at Marks & Spencer, chairman Archie Norman last year blamed self-checkouts for a rise in "middle-class shoplifting".
But Tesco CEO Ken Murphy is an advocate: "We genuinely believe, at the end of the day, it provides a better customer experience."
Many retailers boosted wages after living wage/minimum wage changes in spring.
Figures show German discount brands Aldi and Lidl top the list of major UK supermarkets when it comes to staff hourly pay - after Lidl introduced its third pay increase of the year in May to match its closest rival.
Meanwhile, Morrisons is at the bottom of the pack for staff pay outside London, with hourly wages starting at the National Living Wage (£11.44).
How do other companies compare when it comes to pay and benefits? We've taken a look...
Pay: £12.40 an hour outside London and £13.65 inside the M25
Aldi announced in March it was bringing in its second pay rise of the year as part of its aim to be the best-paying UK supermarket.
From 1 June, hourly pay rose from £12 an hour to £12.40 outside the M25 and £13.55 to £13.65 in London.
Aldi is one of the only supermarkets to give staff paid breaks. It also offers perks such as discounted gym membership and cinema tickets, and financial planning tools. However, there are no cheaper meals, staff discounts or bonus schemes.
Pay: £12.04 an hour outside London and £13.21 inside the M25
As of 1 July, hourly wages for Asda supermarket staff rose to £12.04 per hour from £11.11, with rates for London staff also going up to £13.21.
As part of the July changes, Asda brought in the option for free later-life care or mortgage advice. The company also offers a pension and a free remote GP service.
Pay: £12 an hour outside London and £13.15 inside the M25
Co-op boosted its minimum hourly wage for customer team members from £10.90 to £12 nationally as the national living wage rose to £11.44 in April.
For staff inside the M25, rates rose from £12.25 to £13.15.
The perks are better than some. Workers can get 30% off Co-op branded products in its food stores as well as 10% off other brands. Other benefits include a cycle to work scheme, childcare vouchers and discounts on its other services.
Pay: £11.50 an hour outside London and £12.65 inside the M25
Iceland says it pays £11.50 for staff aged 21 and over - 6p above the minimum wage. Employees in London receive £12.65 per hour.
Staff are also offered a 15% in-store discount, which was raised from 10% in 2022 to help with the cost of living.
The firm says it offers other perks such as a healthcare scheme and Christmas vouchers.
Pay: £12.40 an hour outside London and £13.65 inside the M25
From June, Lidl matched its rival Aldi by raising its hourly wage to £12.40 for workers outside the M25 and £13.55 for those inside.
Lidl also offers its staff a 10% discount card from the first working day, as well as other perks such as dental insurance and fertility leave.
Marks and Spencer's hourly rate for store assistants was hiked from £10.90 to £12 for staff outside London and from £12.05 to £13.15 for London workers from April.
The grocer also offers a 20% staff discount after the probation period as well as discretionary bonus schemes and a free virtual GP service.
Pay: £11.44 an hour outside London and £12.29 inside the M25
Along with many other retailers, Morrisons increased the hourly wage for staff outside the M25 in line with the national living wage of £11.44 in April.
Employees in London receive an 85p supplement.
While it's not the most competitive for hourly pay, Morrisons offers perks including staff discounted meals, a 15% in-store discount and life assurance scheme.
Sainsbury’s
Sainsbury's hourly rate for workers outside London rose to £12 from March, and £13.15 for staff inside the M25.
The company also offers a 10% discount card for staff to use at Sainsbury's, Argos and Habitat, as well as a range of benefits including season ticket loans and long service rewards.
Pay: £12.02 an hour outside London and £13.15 inside the M25
Since April, Tesco staff have been paid £12.02 an hour nationally - up from £11.02 - while London workers get £13.15 an hour.
The supermarket giant also provides a 10% in-store discount, discounted glasses, health checks and insurance, and free 24/7 access to a virtual GP.
Staff get their pay boosted by 10% on a Sunday if they joined the company before 24 July 2022.
Pay: £11.55 an hour outside London and £12.89 inside the M25
Waitrose store staff receive £11.55 an hour nationally, while workers inside the M25 get at least £12.89.
Staff can also get access to up to 25% off at Waitrose's partner retailer John Lewis as well as 20% in Waitrose shops.
JLP (the John Lewis Partnership) gives staff a bonus as an annual share-out of profit determined by the firm's performance. In 2021-22 the bonus was 3% of pay; however, it has not paid the bonus for the past two years.
Dozens of Ted Baker stores will shut for the last time this week amid growing doubts over a future licensing partnership with the retail tycoon Mike Ashley.
Sky News understands that talks between Mr Ashley's Frasers Group and Authentic, Ted Baker's owner, have stalled three months after it appeared that an agreement was imminent.
Administrators are overseeing the closure of its remaining 31 UK shops.
One store source said they had been told that this Tuesday would be the final day of trading.

The housing market experienced a surge in activity following the Bank of England's recent decision to cut interest rates, according to a leading property website.
Estate agents reported a 19% jump in enquiries about properties for sale after 1 August, when compared with the same period last year, research by Rightmove found.
It came after the Bank cut rates for the first time in more than four years from 5.25% to 5%.
The lead negotiator for major train union ASLEF has denied the union sees the new government as a "soft touch" after announcing fresh strikes two days after train drivers were offered a pay deal.
Drivers working for London North Eastern Railway will walk out on weekends from the end of August in a dispute over working agreements.
Lead negotiator Nigel Roebuck said it is a separate issue from the long-running row over pay, which looks likely to be resolved after a much-improved new offer from the government.
Over 40 bottles of fake vodka have been seized from a shop in Scotland after a customer reported "smelling nail varnish".
The 35cl bottles, fraudulently labelled as the popular brand Glen's, were recovered from the shop in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire.
Officers from the council's environmental health officers and Food Standard Scotland (FSS) sent them for analysis after a customer raised the alarm by saying they smelt nail varnish from one of the bottles.
The bottles were found to be counterfeit.
Britons don't have long left to claim cost of living assistance from the Household Support Fund.
Introduced in October 2021, the scheme provides local councils with funding which can be used to support those struggling most with the rising cost of living.
The vast majority of councils operate their version of the Household Support Fund on a "first come, first serve" basis and will officially end the schemes once the funding has run out in September.
The help provided by councils has ranged from free cash payments, council tax discounts, and vouchers for supermarkets and energy providers.
Who is eligible?
Local authorities were instructed to target the funding at "vulnerable households in most need of support to help with significantly rising living costs" when it was first rolled out.
In particular, councils were guided to make priority considerations for those who:
- Are eligible but not claiming qualifying benefits;
- Became eligible for benefits after the relevant qualifying dates;
- Are receiving housing benefit only;
- Are normally eligible for benefits but who had a nil award in the qualifying period.
If you do not meet these criteria, you can still contact your local council , with many having broadened their criteria for eligibility.

Weapons maker BAE Systems is the big loser on the FTSE 100 this morning, with its shares down almost 3% in early trading.
It comes following reports over the weekend that the German government is planning to scale back aid to Ukraine in its war with Russia – in what would be a blow to the arms industry.
German media said ministers are set to slash support for Kyiv to 6% of current levels by 2027 in their upcoming budget.
However, the government there has rejected the reports and has denied it is "stopping support" to Ukraine.
Whatever the truth, the reports appear to have spooked traders.
Other companies involved in the defence sector, including Rolls-Royce Plc and Chemring Group, are also down more than 2% and 1% respectively on Monday.
It comes amid a slight slump in early trading, with the FTSE 100 down just over 0.2%, although the FTSE 250 is up 0.07%.
Gainers this morning include housebuilders Barratt Developments, up 1.5%, and Redrow Plc, which is up almost 3%.
Barratt said today it intends to push ahead with a planned £2.5bn merger with its rival despite concerns from the competition regulator.
Meanwhile, the price of oil is down amid concerns of weaker demand in China.
Ongoing ceasefire talks in the Israel-Hamas conflict have also raised hopes of cooling tensions in the Middle East, which would help ease supply risks and worries.
A barrel of the benchmark Brent Crude is currently priced at just over $79 (£61).
On the currency markets, this morning £1 buys $1.29 US or €1.17.
Winter energy bills are projected to rise by 9%, according to a closely watched forecast.
The price cap from October to December will go up to £1,714 a year for the average user, Cornwall Insight says.
It would be a £146 rise from the current cap, which is controlled by energy regulator Ofgem and aims to prevent households on variable tariffs being ripped off.
The cap doesn't represent a maximum bill. Instead it creates an average bill by limiting how much you pay per unit of gas and electricity, as well as setting a maximum daily standing charge (which all households must pay to stay connected to the grid).
Ofgem will announce the October cap this Friday.
"This is not the news households want to hear when moving into the colder months," said the principal consultant at Cornwall, Dr Craig Lowrey.
"Following two consecutive falls in the cap, I'm sure many hoped we were on a steady path back to pre-crisis prices.
"However, the lingering impact of the energy crisis has left us with a market that's still highly volatile and quick to react to any bad news on the supply front.
"Despite this, while we don't expect a return to the extreme prices of recent years, it's unlikely that bills will return to what was once considered normal. Without significant intervention, this may well be the new normal."
Cornwall Insight warned that the highly volatile energy market and unexpected global events, such as the recent escalating tensions in the Russia-Ukraine war, could see prices rise further at the start of the new year.
To avoid this vulnerability, Cornwall Insight said domestic renewable energy production should increase and Britain should wean itself off energy imports.
Kellogg's appears to have shrunk its packets of Corn Flakes.
Two of its four different pack sizes have reduced in weight by 50g, according to The Sun.
What used to be 720g boxes are now 670g, while 500g boxes have become 450g.
The newspaper says the 670g boxes are being sold for £3.20 in Tesco - the same price customers were paying for the larger box back in May.
The 450g boxes are being sold for £2.19, only slightly less than the previous price of £2.25.
Other supermarkets have similar pricing, although in Morrisons the price has gone down in proportion to the size reduction.
The 250g and 1kg pack sizes remain unchanged.
Kellogg's has said it is up to shops to choose what they charge, but Tesco said the manufacturer should comment on pricing.
Sky News has contacted Kellogg's for comment.
A spokesperson is quoted by The Sun: "Kellogg's Corn Flakes are available in four different box sizes to suit different shopper preferences and needs.
"As the cost of ingredients and production processes increase, it costs us more to make our products than it used to.
"This can impact the recommended retail price. It's the grocer's absolute discretion and decision what price to charge shoppers."
WHSmith has launched a café brand as it seeks to expand into the food-to-go market.
The first café is in Princess Anne Hospital in Southampton and offers teas and coffees, hot breakfasts and pastries
Its branding is the same as the Smith Family Kitchen food-to-go range launched three months ago.
WHSmith UK travel managing director Andrew Harrison said: "Whether it's in a hospital or on their journeys, customers tell us that quality food and drink options are what they prioritise most in the different locations we serve.
"That's why we have been doubling down on our food ranges and formats to ensure our customers don't need to compromise on quality or value, as demonstrated today with the launch of Smith's Kitchen."

Every Monday the Money team answers your Money Problems or consumer disputes. Find out how to submit yours at the bottom of this post. Today's question is...
I'm 62 and have 10 years of gaps in my national insurance record as I worked for my parents' import business without a fixed wage during most of my twenties and thirties, and had periods of unemployment in my fifties. What are the benefits of topping up before I retire in a few years and can I really get £6,000 added to my pension for every £900 I put in? Tony, Palmers Green
This is a question many people approaching retirement will be asking themselves, Tony.
First, it's worth us outlining why your national insurance record matters and who can top up.
If you reached pension age after 6 April 2016 you need 10 years of NI contributions to get a state pension - and 35 years to get the full £221.20 a week. Before that 2016 date, it's 30 years.
People may have gaps in their record for numerous reasons including: being unemployed, on a low income, self-employed, having worked abroad, or having taken a break from work to raise a family.
Ordinarily, you can pay voluntary contributions for the past six years - but currently there's an extended period meaning a man born after 5 April 1951 or a woman born after 5 April 1953 can pay voluntary contributions to make up for gaps between April 2006 and April 2016.
The deadline for this is 5 April 2025.
How much could topping up earn you?
It would cost £907.40 to cover all NI contributions from the 2023-24 tax year - each year is different but this is a good guide. Going back to your question, if you went on to enjoy 20 years of retirement, you would get back £6,000. It would take just three years to get your £907.40 back.
Who might want to think twice?
Just to stress, as always, that this post is not intended as financial advice. Instead, we're outlining things you should think about.
The first thing anyone should consider is if they'll fill gaps naturally through working - in which case there'd be no point topping up. Given your age, Tony, it could be an option for you - but check your state pension forecast here .
There are lots of other things to factor in and you should seek independent financial advice.
Wealth management firm Charles Stanley says a key consideration is whether a higher pension would either:
- Drag you into paying tax when you retire;
- Mean you no longer qualify for certain benefits.
"You might not benefit from the full amount of extra money as some will be taken in income tax," they say.
"In addition, boosting state pension income can affect entitlements to means-tested benefits. Notably, if you claim pension credit, which tops up the income of very low earners over state pension age, any increase in the state pension would normally reduce an award. This often means that you would be no better off paying voluntary contributions."
Another consideration - and this isn't something most people want to contemplate - is that if you don't think you'll live long enough into retirement (you might be in ill-health or have a terminal illness) to benefit from topping up, then it's probably not worth it.
People should also look into whether they could transfer contributions from their spouse or civil partner .
One more way to top up
Which? advises: "Ensure that you are getting any NI credits you are entitled to before contemplating paying voluntary NI contributions for a particular year.
"These are free and will apply, say, if you are caring for a child in the family as a parent or grandparent, claiming statutory sick pay or looking after a sick/disabled person."
If you're below state pension age, you can contact the Future Pension Centre to see if you'll benefit from topping up - they're on 0800 731 0175. If you already claim the state pension, call the Pension Service on 0800 731 0469.
Again, before taking any action you should seek independent financial advice.
If you do decide to top up, you'll need a Government Gateway account.
On there, you can see gaps, the cost of filling them and how much you could benefit - you can then pay online.

Kasia Niewiadoma nearly saw her Tour de France Femmes hopes dashed when Demi Vollering and Pauliena Rooijakkers broke away on the final stage. Despite a shrinking lead and the odds against her, Niewiadoma battled fiercely and managed to secure the overall victory by a razor-thin margin of just four seconds. For Vollering, it was a case of what might have been after her crash on Stage 5.

Tour de France Femmes stage 7 Live - The race heads to the mountains for a GC battle
Arnaud démare wins paris-tours 2021.
Frenchman out-muscles Bonnamour, Stuyven
Arnaud Démare (Groupama-FDJ) snatched victory at Paris-Tours on Sunday, sprinting from a four-man group in a dramatic climax to the late-season Classic.
The Frenchman only hit the front of the race inside the final 750 metres, having combined with Jasper Stuyven (Trek-Segafredo) to bridge across to the leading duo of Franck Bonnamour (B&B Hotels) and Stan Dewulf (AG2R Citroën).
That pair had been out front for more than 40 kilometres, attacking from a reduced peloton that had been split in the crosswinds, and looked on course to contest the title between them as they ticked off the numerous gravel sectors and collaborated all the way to Tours.
But they were hunted down as Démare and Stuyven themselves collaborated in the final 10km, making the junction with barely a moment to catch their breath for the sprint. Démare opened it up and sustained his power all the way to the line, with Bonnamour pipping Stuyven for the runner-up spot while Dewulf faded behind.
"I'm really happy, it's a lot of emotion," Démare said. "We know what I have been going through lately, no success, not the legs I wanted, today was a really ideal day. It was a sprint to the finish, I really didn't want to miss out.
"We stayed for a long time with Stuyven at 10 seconds behind the two riders, we were all in it together. Finally we get in, I take the initiative to close the gap. I threw everything I had into it and it worked. I'm very happy."
Paris-Tours was once known as a sprinter’s Classic but the introduction of gravel tracks through the Vouvray vineyards a few years ago drastically altered the complexion of a race that has existed since 1896. Démare is a sprinter by trade but couldn’t rely on a bunch gallop.
"I didn't think that this new course of Paris-Tours would suit me but everything turned out as I wanted," Démare said.
He was up front when Stuyven split the bunch on the long penultimate Peu Morier gravel sector with 20km to go, and then the pair of them went clear when Démare’s teammate Valentin Madouas accelerated on the slopes of the Côte de Vouvray soon after. They had Bob Jungels (AG2R) and Roger Adria (Kern Pharma) for company, and the 25-second gap to the front of the race became even more bridgeable when Frederik Frison (Lotto Soudal), who’d been part of the original move with Dewulf and Bonnamour, punctured with 13km remaining.
Still, cooperation was lacking, and Démare decided to issue a huge acceleration on the final climb of the Côte de Rochecorbon, to which only Stuyven could respond. The Belgian denied the first request for a turn but soon came through, and the pair worked faultlessly together to hunt down the leaders.
They had them in sight in the final couple of kilometres and a couple of huge turns apiece saw them get across inside the final kilometre. After the briefest of lulls, the quartet sprang into action once again, and Démare still had enough left in the tank to make his finishing kick count.
How it unfolded
The 212.3km route from Chartres to Tours was largely flat, with the gravel sectors and short climbs crammed into the final 50km. However, a stiff tailwind, with a hint of crosswind, made for a fast and furious day from the off.
Gijs Leemreize (Jumbo-Visma) and Julien Duval (AG2R Citroën) formed the early breakaway before Rune Herregodts (Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise) bridged across to make it a trio. Groupama-FDJ soon accelerated in an apparent attempt to spark echelons but then relented, allowing the breakaway to sail clear and carve out an eight-minute lead.
However, with well over 100km still remaining, the pace in the peloton picked up markedly. After a long period of full-throttle riding, the wind struck in the right direction to split the race into echelons around 80km from home. The bunch ended up effectively split in two, with most of the big-name favourites present and correct in a front peloton of 35 riders.
That leading group quickly swallowed up the breakaway and then hit the first of the nine gravel sectors with 50km remaining. Immediately, a new selection was made, with Bonnamour, Dewulf, and Frison going clear with Connor Swift (Arkéa-Samsic), but the latter wasn’t there for long as he fell victim to a puncture on the loose gravel.
There was a regrouping in the main peloton as the leading trio opened up a lead of 45 seconds on the subsequent three sectors, with Trek-Segafredo and Groupama-FDJ the teams marshalling the peloton. FDJ looked to use the Côte de la Rochère climb with 29km to go as a launchpad to cut the deficit, dropping the defending champion Casper Pedersen (DSM) as the bunch split to pieces.
That brought the gap down to 20 seconds but the front three rode strongly over the next two sectors and up the short climb that led into the Peu Morier sector - the longest of the race. It was there that Stuyven lit things up, going clear briefly with Démare, Madouas, Jungels, and Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Fenix). The bunch split to pieces and, although it did start to reform on the tarmac, the Côte de Vouvray was just around the corner and Madouas lit it up once again.
Démare, Stuyven, Jungels, and Adria made it a chasing quintet, with the latter launching a brief attack with 15km to go. A couple of kilometres later, it was heartbreak for Frison, who punctured and had to watch the chasers sail past while he got a new wheel.
The gap fell to 16 seconds but they started looking at each other and it went back out, offering a sliver of hope to what was now a two-man lead group. On the final climb with 11km to go, Démare took matters into his own hands, going well clear before Stuyven impressively worked his way up.
The last 10km saw a dramatic two-on-two pursuit, with the catch being made in the home straight before Démare powered clear to finally win the French Classic where he’s twice been on the lower steps of the podium.
