Tesco's Scan As You Shop.

I gave it a go yesterday. Good init!

Bye.

I saw that when I went and I want to try it.

Ta ta

What did you buy?

How do you scan stuff like loose sprouts?

What does it do?

Sainsbury's has had it for years. A much better class of shopper in Sainsbury's.

We've got a Sainsbury's Local opening up just down the road.

Not sure I'll get much use out of it; cant see it being much better value than the larger Co-op for convenient purchases.

My fave co-op deal atm fyi is the Chicago Town Pizza/Ice cream deal fer a fiver.

Pick up a hand-held barcode scanner as you go in, then scan what you normally buy as you go along then pay at the special check-out desks. As for loose veg etc, there are weigh points dotted around the store.

I think Tesco are relying a little bit too much on peoples honesty here. I'm sure the whole idea could be open to abuse. Saying that, if you think you can just walk out the door with a bar of choccy in your coat pocket then forget it. If you *cough* forget to scan something, then any item not scanned will set of the alarms as you try to make your escape out the door!

What ever happened to Arkwright's corner store eh?

ive got a scanner built into my pocket, specially for tesco

I hate tescos.

Indeed. Without going all Mark Thomas I refuse to use the scan and shop and self service checkouts. Tesco's et al already shaft their staff without you doing your own scanning and allowing Tesco's to reduce staffing further.

The large corporate employers such as Tesco's rely on Labour's tax credits to ensure that they do not have to pay a living wage. Why bother topping up the salaries of your workers when you know the Government will..? In the meantime profits increase for their shareholders, subsidised through the public purse, whilst everyone in the food chain supplying Tesco's have their balls squeezed to drive cost cutting.

you know its just a matter of time before the whole logistics for large retailers comes to an end.

we'll be left with local shops with local suppliers, at the gate farm sales and local food co-ops, distributing locally.

as it should be.

peak oil has been and gone, its all downhill for you consumer junkies Im afraid

Agree with both Nick and Darling.

Best not let Hairy see this thread

Tescos aren't just rushing in blind here, this is a project they have been working on for years. The scanners are all linked to weighing scales secretly built into your shoes which way you on entering and leaving the store. The products that you scan are then added to the weight of your person which is all calculated on a massive central computer, this is also why your children are weighed by so call health visitors when they are young, all part of the same system, if it's open to abuse I am not sure how.

Thought u might.



I hate Argos.

I hate shopping, especially this time of year.

Actually, I hate most shops (except proper secondhand bookshops like the one in Ashburton, where they've got nice comfy chairs so you can sample the merchandise and rest your feet at the same time).

Shopping, in the main, is a necessity, not a leisure activity. And supermarkets are not a substitute for children's playgrounds. Grr.

My real name is Tarquin Tesco, my shops are very popular, a shithole like ashburton could do with a tesco!

Tesco. They're taking over the world!

Where's the new Morrison going to be LM?

I prefer Waitrose - they're so much more expensive than the rest.

Yes, Waitose have that "I saw you coming" organic feel with vegetables having a deeper hue to them.

Waitrose are the best!

If I want to rough it I go to sainsburys!

And proper wine at proper prices. I don't think they even sell cider except in nice orgasmic bottles.
