Mrs H Solo Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I have just nipped out to Tesco for a few things (thankfully as it turns out) and used the self-service checkout. I scanned the first 4 items through then I had to weigh my carrots and then I paid with my debit card, got my receipt and pushed my trolley to the end of the aisle to pack my bag. I did a double take as I only found the carrots there as someone had kindly helped themselves to the rest of the shopping! Tesco were very good and got an assistant to replace everything and the security got the guy on CCTV whether anything more will be done I dont know. I am amazed I didnt notice anything and it must have happened whilst I was distracted weighing the veg. Beware there is always some scrote around to mess your day around and what could have been a 10 minute outing turned into 45 mintues with all the explaining and replacing.

Mrs H Solo Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 they got them on cctv but cant see what they will do next. One of the items was Crunchy nut cornflakes so perhaps he one of those nutters who just cant resist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanes teeth Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 They should have looked for him eating them in the carpark with some milk he'd nicked off somebody else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jane2008 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I'm with MR BENN on this one. I've never used one of those self-service machines. You wouldn't imagine that your crunchy nuts (cornflakes) would be in peril at the checkout though would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badabing Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I also use the self service check out sometimes but on the smaller machine (not the one with the conveyor). Next time, I'll be more careful though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky_Gibbon Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I usually don't use them but in the past fortnight the queues in M&S were murder so I decided to use them. The first time I didn't have a problem but was very put off by the checkout assistant who was watching me like an eagle and was watching with interest whilst I put in my card pin number until I told them to mind their own business. The second time I'd got some bread rolls which don't have a bar code and it took me 5 minutes to find them in the 'loose items' options and I ended up missing my bus. I'll stick to the express tills in future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave650 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 There is a plus side of those self service machines, I was talking to someone who picked up a bottle of £10 wine and it scanned in at 50p....so they ran back and emptied the whole shelf!

Vrsaljko Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 You left your shopping unattended? Hardly surprising it happened... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they steal a lot of stuff from Tesco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
