Still quicker...

Yep

The key is to not pick the next item up before the last is in the bag the other side. I only use the self scan for a few bits. Otherwise the weekly shop is done with the scan-as-you-go thingys only to be caught by the assistant to do a check in case we've accidentally robbed something.:whistle::wozza::rant::censored::facepalm:

Problems also arise if you are buying booze - EVERY item needs to be authorised.

Did you bring your own bag?
Yes
Did I really?
No
Did I use a supermarket bag?
Yes
5p for a useless, too thin bag is an outrage so I use the self service tills instead.

I can also say I have 3 croissants/doughnuts when in fact I have 6.

Never buy a small,individual Pork Pie. Almost without exception a portion of the barcode will be folded over itself rendering the bar-code illegible to the scanner.
