Self Service Shopping.

[R1stu]

Have any of you done this yet?

I went into tescos today and they had self-service check outs. You just scan the items yourself and then swipe your card etc to pay for it all.

Was quite good fun.

We were drunk one night and went to Tesco to buy Ker Plunk we thought that by putting it through the self service no-one would notice that we were strange and buying ker plunk on a saturday night. On putting it through the check out it wouldn't scan so someone came over and went to look for a price, they couldn't find a price so they got another member of staff to help them, they then realised that it was the last one in the shop and they went to get an assistant manager to help get a price, when the assistant manager couldn't help they got the store manager who gave it to us for 3 pounds...I don't think ker plunk is worth all the embarrassement, can't look at the self service check outs anymore without going bright red

Tesco self service checkouts bring an already dire experience to an all new low. Some daft woman living in the machine keeps shouting at you to put the item on the belt or in the bag which isn't big enough and complains when you take the bag off the scales.

Then it throws a hissy fit when you try and swipe your debit card as it couldn't cope with a Maestro (not that there's even any security, it doesn't ask for a pin, a signature or anything). Then it makes you sit there until some gormless oik comes and inspects your items to allow you to pay because you got a bottle of wine...

It's no wonder that there's never a queue for them, they just piss people off.

The ones in stafford tesco are either broken down or have a fit when you use them.

TBH its easier and probably quicker to use a normal check out

But who would you give the cash to at the checkout? or are them things only for people with credit cards?

At the Tesco here there is usually 2 members of staff manning 4 of the checkouts.
You can sometimes beep through an item and put another one on top as it goes down the belt. Combinations of light and heavy do the trick.
Try a pack of mine beef or 4 pack of beer, and put your snacks on top.
This is better if two of you are doing it.

Can's can be rolled down the belt at the same time as other items.

Was in asda the other morning (3am) hunting for a silver pen for an art project at work. they were using the self service machines and had no checkout staff on the tills. Found it funny because of all the beeping it made

[_Will_]

Had em in a local co-op for 2 or 3 years, i like those ones because the speakers are quiet, the bloody ones in asda proclaim to the world you just made a saving of 54p on a multibuy

We've got them here - along with the service station - cheap juice! I have to say, I love em - I always use them, but they do bug me sometimes when they throw a hissy fit!!

Got them in my Tesco near work.

They are OK if you hve items that dont need to be weighed, or things like bagels from the bakery as you have to find the code yourself and the pictures and descriptions thy give you are crap. If you ask for assistance the staff treat you like an idiot.

Used them In the USA last year... Good
They come here. BUt Tesco, you swipe and thats it. No Pin, nothing.
Stolen cards can be used.

[lozzypop1]

Pro - Sometimes quicker.

Cons - Things are no less expensive, you pack your own bag, You normally end up feeling like taking a baseball bat to it!
