We don't have the scanner thingy over here yet, at least not in this area, but we do have self checking. I really dislike it when I buy produce and have to look things up that don't have barcodes. I usually pay with a check which also slows things down as I then have to wait for the person who is in charge of at least 6 scanners to get to me and accept the check. I like to treat the supermarket as my bank and usually get some cash change for pocket money. Sometimes there is only one normal check-out open with a regular cashier but if I have veg I stand in line. Apart from Aldi, we still can get bags if we forget to bring our own. Shopping is becoming a real chore these days.
Janice Janice Blair Crystal Lake, 50 miles northwest of Chicago, Illinois, USA where we had a small earthquake last evening. I heard a noise and DH said it was the tv. Wrong! I dislike surround sound, especially when alone. I dislike hearing a noise from the opposite end of the room from the tv. Very disconcerting, but men must have their toys. Not heard of any damage. www.jblace.com http://www.lacemakersofillinois.org ________________________________ From: The Lace Bee <thelace...@btinternet.com> To: Chat <lace-chat@arachne.com> Sent: Tue, January 31, 2012 3:53:58 PM Subject: Re: [lace-chat] Green thing My local Waitrose has refined this system to the point of perfection. I like to use the self scan handset because I know exactly what I've spent before I get to the checkout and that is the ONLY reason I go through this torture when I go shopping.
