Once again the big supermarkets have decided that you, the customer, are the shoplifters they want to catch. The guys who put five bottle of vodka down their pants will continue to walk out the front door without paying for a thing.
For the rest of us unpaid customer-employees of Tesco, you better have scanned all your items with 100% accuracy.
The cheek of it! Next thing you know, they will be hiring people to scan our items for us! Wait a minute…
They should try having dedicated lanes where someone scans your items for you as you pack them.
It’s amazing how far supermarkets will go to demonstrate how much they don’t trust self-service customers.
If you’re willing to invest so much money into technology to stop untrustworthy customers, why don’t you just pay for workers on checkouts?
What fucking losers, honestly…
This is dystopian. What’s wrong with some proper checkouts?
This is going backwards.
What ever happened to that big arch they wanted you to push the trolley through and it would scan everything in one go?
I’m interested to how much shopping I weight if I’m honest
This is a bit much really, what’s the tolerance on the scales? Can you calibrate the scale to the “default” weight of the trolley when you enter the shop so they know the weight of the trolley you’re using?
My partner puts her bag/keys/phone/whatever in the child seat of trolleys when we go shopping – if she forgets to remove them before we go on the scales, then what? We have to be delayed while some underpaid staff member has to undo all of the packing we’ve done as we’ve gone around the shop and we have to then redo it all to rule us out as shoplifters? Which then leads to more delays for other shoppers?
It’s getting to a point where stealing is more convenient than legitimately paying.
Can’t wait for people to start playing with this and adding as much non shopping weight as possible to set off a manual check
And they pick Gateshead 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Well that won;t work with me
I generally have a backpack and several bags in the trolley and an ebike battery in the backpack
and if not then everything is in the backpack so how is that going to work??
No I’m not stealing 2 crates of beer, that’s my chold In the trolly… you want them to get out?
Tried that, the 20 minutes of tantrum isn’t worth it, scan away.
