Yea there’s been a few articles recently saying scanner sales have gone up a lot recently as people are counting the pennies and food prices are changing by the day and people don’t want to be embarrassed at the tills by having to put stuff back.

mad_manx Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) Mate of mine went with his kid and the kid ended up scanning a whole load of stuff he didn't buy 😑 Edited December 13, 2022 by mad_manx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genericUserName Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 4 hours ago, Asthehills said: Yeah. Much better to stand in the co-op in Crosby and have the worlds loudest self service till bellow “you payment has been declined” to the entire store. That's a different sort of self-scanning. Fine for a few items but no use with a trolley. Still much better than having to stand in a queue behind people buying scratch cards. Totally different from going around the shop with a hand scanner and packing the shop as you go along. Which is very convenient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Mexico Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 9 hours ago, Passing Time said: It would be interesting to find out just how much this costs the stores £500 million a year according to this article from July. The industry claims that people are using them to steal expensive items (lots of tips there for you, Gladys!) but I could help noticing that it ended: A survey of 2,000 Brits, by Myfavouritevouchercodes.co.uk, found one in three admitted to pinching items using the self-service checkouts in 2022 alone. The items most commonly stolen are toiletries and hygiene products, fresh produce and baby formula, it said. Which suggests that if anything the amount is an underestimate and that it's not really just the expensive stuff that is going. 8 hours ago, Banker said: Probably less than extra staff costs by having more tills open Except you need extra security and monitoring/assistance staff as well. So the saving may be less than you think. I suspect lack of staff may be one reason and possibly attracting customers who want a few items and to be quickly in and out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTF Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 thanks for the advice on where to get pies, but i don't actually get the pies , almond slices sometimes and only when on offer. my point was i had noticed a BIG jump in prices.
