@libroraptor @anne_twain @Gustodon @georgepenney we have the same systems in Scotland too. collect a scanner at the door (I forget if it requires a loyalty card), scan each item and put it straight into a bag in the trolley. at the (self-)checkout, scan a QR code, pay, leave

except at least half the time you get randomly picked for a bag check and someone has to pull seven items from your bags and confirm you'd scanned them. once it was all the items

still quicker than a staffed checkout or a scanning self-checkout though

@JackEric @libroraptor @Gustodon @georgepenney They've deliberately made the normal checkouts slow by not having enough of them. They could make them faster but they don't want to hire more staff - they want you to use the self checkouts.

@anne_twain @libroraptor @Gustodon @georgepenney my experience of supermarkets that only have staffed checkouts is that they also don't have enough checkout staff and it takes forever to pay up and leave
