She is one of the many who complain self-service tills are too slow or hard to use, and her petition has been .
Tesco said staff were always on hand to help at either type of checkout.
Ms McCarthy, from Brentford in West London, said she began her campaign after visiting the Tesco Extra in Osterley where She Said three quarters of the tills were self-service.
" These new tills are not accessible for people who don't have credit cards and can only use cash or those with little confidence to use these self-service card-only tills - Myself included, " she wrote on her

" You do need some self-service for The People who find them more convenient but just fewer, " She Said .
Ms McCarthy said she loved chatting with checkout staff as she lives on her own, but " now that experience has been Taken Away from me".
A Tesco spokesperson said: " Our colleagues and the friendly service They provide are absolutely vital to our stores and will always be on hand to help our customers, whether They are Checking Out at one of our colleague-operated or self-service checkouts. "

Tesco said it introduced self-service checkouts nearly 20 years ago to give customers a choice and all of its stores had both options.
In October, the supermarket converted its store in High Holborn in Central London into a which allows customers to shop and pay without using a checkout.
Shape of things to come?At The Time Richard Lim , chief executive of retail analyst group Retail Economics, said The Move was " reflective of The Way the wider industry is heading".
According to one estimate, The Number of self-service checkouts in stores worldwide was forecast at 325,000 in 2021 - up from around 200,000 in 2013.
Adam Leyland, editor of The Grocer magazine, said The Decline in The Number of staffed tills in supermarkets reflected shopper preference for Getting In and out quickly.
He Said : " On my High Street, the new Amazon Fresh store with the fancy just-walk-out tech is always empty, whereas the new deli, four doors down employs six to eight people on each shift and is rammed to the gills.
" It shows that many shoppers still value great Customer Service and human interaction and technology won't always win. So supermarkets will need to listen hard as The Market evolves and cater for all needs. "
