Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
You know, for quite some time when I've been doing my shopping at Waitrose they ask "would you like some help packing" and I've been assuming they're just trying to provide superior customer service. But it dawned on me this week, that they might be assuming I'm in the age bracket where I could use a hand. How very dare they! Hopefully I am just imagining things.

Indeed. That's why I have little sympathy that they are bring replaced by self scan tills.

Did those gadgets I read about once ever catch on? Something about scanning as you go around the store rather than at the end? I caguely recall seeing them in a Sainsbury or Safeway at Bude.

They do and they are an improved version of the handhelds they offered a couple of years ago. I've only recently started reusing them as the queues were getting horrendous. It now amazes me that so few other customers avail themselves of this timesaver (although I can understand in the cases of new immigrants, such as Novo).

Interesting how some chains find the self check outs good, others had them and got rid of them.
New trend is to not take cash at self check out, so the stores have to have some human cashiers, not everyone has credit or debit.
