@libroraptor @anne_twain @Gustodon @georgepenney Yes, in the UK we've had self-scanning for many years, but I've never seen any UK supermarkets that bag your groceries for you. The other great thing about using the scanner is that you can pretend it's a 1960s Star Trek phaser. I mean, it's literally a ray-gun, right?
@hengymrohebwlad, I've seen packers, but usually only when it's really busy. Quality of packing is variable.
