That is mostly how it works in that Tesco. But sometimes they don't have staff to man the cash register. In those cases you have to pay at the regular cash register. Don't forget to hold up the goods in the air for the barcode scanner, as the staff is not willing to touch the items.

I have not had any problems with muslim cashiers in Tesco or Cold Storage scanning and handling alcohol themselves at the main check out. But I don't put any pork products on the conveyor belt, holding them up in the air like SushiFan recommends.
