I seem to recall a number of years ago a mention of something about being able so scan your shopping as you went but then all seemed to go quiet. Roll on and recently my local Tesco store have introduced it.
I've been using it for a number of weeks now and I have to ask...where have you been?
In case you're not familiar with it, it involves picking up a scanner (you require to be registered with their Clubcard programme) and then, as you go around you scan the items you want and can then just pack them. Simple! Anything that cannot be scanned you can set aside while loose fruit & veg is weighed at stations and then a label printed for you to scan. Once completed, you go to the specific checkout area, scan a barcode on the screen, answer a few questions (anything you couldn't scan?) after which it begins to transfer the scanned items to the checkout.
Just a wee sample of a shop
I've absolutely loved it! I can now just go in and back out. I love how it gives you a running total of how much you've spent as well as how much you've saved. Any offers are also shown & it reminds you to scan all items in offers like 3 for 2 etc.
We used it a few the day before Christmas Eve for our final shop/ It took us an hour to run round with the scanner and only minutes to get though paying at the checkout given the size of the checkouts and that was only at 10am!
Yes there's the occasional security check once at the checkout but I've only had them the first few times that I've used but other than that, I can’t complain…well, I can. It’s only open for 12 hours and the trolleys are needing a wee cradle for the scanner to sit in when not in use (though I’m told their coming…wish they’d come sooner!)
