One supermarket chain, I believe, is testing 'assistive technology' in Sydney in a couple of supermarkets. I believe it pretty much replicates the underlying technology used in ANPR systems.

F.ck..g women shoppers who look totally surprised when it's time to pay in supermarkets. Then they go through the elaborate process of searching for their purse, still in shock. At what point did they think they might get their groceries for nothing. No consideration for us organised punters. End of rant....!! Same with ***** on buses. Wait until they're eye to eye with the driver before ****ing about for change or their pass. Death be upon them, DEATH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The self service machines in England should have Scottish accents, double footfold easily. Phil Jupitas was on a Radio Scotland quiz show a few weeks back and since moving to Scotland all someone has to say to his wife is 'awrite hen' and she goes all giggle and weak at the knees.

...a bit disco Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Sainsbury's Longstone now have video cameras installed on every self-serve point. Bad enough when the ***** security boy follows me round the entire store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better call Saul Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) Some Shops down south already allow you to pick up your shopping place into your bag and you leave without even needing them scanned , all done through your phone and sensors on the items and shelves you have to be a registered member of course ...less staff needed again .

¼½¾ Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Does anyone use the scam-as-you-shop (that was a typo, but its staying)? I get anxious in case I've forgot to scan something. The last time, I had 5 items, but was still checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get anxious in case I've forgot to scan something. The last time, I had 5 items, but was still checking. Use it all the time. It's shit in Tesco (they've wasted my time checking items 4 times out of 5) but it's great in Sainsbury. Pick it up, scan it, bag it. Takes longer to do your shop but you gain time overall as you only handle your shopping once and there are no queues at the till. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently that's illegal. **** off! I was in Asda with my son who for the first time was using his own money to buy a toy (he was 4). He was so excited to hand over his tenner to the woman but when it came to it she wouldn’t accept it as I was buying some other things which included ibuprofen. He was so crestfallen I could have punched her but couldn’t walk out as he really wanted the toy. I’m getting the rage again just typing this.
