Picked up some butter for Georgina at Tescos this lunchtime. In the St Peter’s Tesco, they have self-service checkouts and very nice they are too. As you would expect of new technolgy, there was no queue, so I just breezed up and started tapping the screen… it was dead easy: click start, then scan each item’s barcode past the little glass window. Note that you need to put the item onto the conveyor belt, otherwise it doesn’t accept that you’ve finished with it! This caught me out for a while as I just put the butter down on a handy surface after scanning it… Then it was just a case of swiping my clubcard & switch card through and I was done.

Definitely going to use that system again!
