That's a different area. I've seen that in operation and that I definitely avoid.

I'm talking about the latest hand held scanners that you go round the store with and then put the scanner into the 'dock'.

Sorry Kremmen. There is a hand scanning system in Waitrose in Ruislip and I have never used that one. I believe you have to join up to do so. That was the one my boss's wife got stopped at for a spot check two weeks running and she was very cross about it. (It made her shopping trip a lot longer)

I haven't heard of any other stores using similar systems.

why buy a dog and bark yourself?

I agree Jim and only use the self scanning tills if there really isn't much choice - like B & Q in the evenings when there are no other tills open

B&Q

I think my record is 4 separate visits for "Please wait for an assistant"

"Am I over 18" ?

I always get them at the end anyway because my B&Q discount card needs assistant approval. I always wait till they've gone back to their desk before scanning that = I am a git
