I look nothing like him!
I've seen the hand-held scanners and people scanning stuff before putting it in their bags at the Asda Marina Supermarket, but thought it looked a bit too technical for me. I know someone who works in the shop, and she said to me that once you give it a go, you're a scanner for life!
I thought, sod it - I'll be brave and give it a go. Life-changing! Today being a Bank Holiday, and I was there mid-day, there were quite a few people there.
After bleeping my way through the aisles, putting my goods in my bags, I walked past queues of people at the tills and self check-outs, to a deserted dedicated Self-Scan check-out area. Scanned the QR code on the till, scanned the bar code which then appeared on the hand-scanner, paid the amount via the contactless method, and that was me done.
No "Unknown item in the bagging area", or other time consuming obstacles at the self checkout, no queueing behind old ladies that smell like the Goldstone North Stand's men's toilets. Your shopping is already bagged up, so away you go.
******* marvellous!!!!
