My method of self scanning - scan item, scan item, scan item, 'accidentally forget to scan item', scan item. Repeat untill done.

Thing is though, the ones at Tesco bitch at you if the weight is wrong and don't let you do anything until it's fixed. Which gets really annoying, because I keep setting it off accidentally.

If I have three things, I scan the first, put it in the bag, hold onto the second whilst I scan the third and bag it. Then pay and lift the bag off the scales, and walk out

Scales? woh high tech man.

All you ninja scanners, make sure you ring up produce (if you ring it up at all) as the cheapest thing (like bananas or something)

Mmmm, us ninja scanners don't scan 1/4 of the items, therefore we don't need to fanny about with ringing it up as cheap items don't let on, we're a very secretive bunch.

I once tried buying a can of V with self checkout.

Took about 5 minutes trying to scan, so I gave up + then another 5 minutes to switch to a regular checkout.

Useless things, they should've been tested more.

a can of what?

Its not very clear what you are trying to say.

He's insinuating that you "just plain suck".

Or at least that's what I gathered

Pretty sure he just means you should go suck a dick.

Nah I dont like them, I tried one over a year ago when they first came out and that was only because I was persuaded by the fat assistant.  It cocked it all up.

About 15 years in Wokingham (posh as fuck place) I went back to visit my Mum n other Dad for a weekend, we went to waitrose, she grabbed the bar code scanner off the wall, stuck her card in it, took it back out and started walking up and down the aisles.  She would pick the items up, give it 'bleep' and put them in her bags already in the trolley, 30 mins later she returns the scanner to the wall, puts her card in again and walks out, I was gobsmacked.

There be riots if you could do that in my town, Waitrose would go bust.  I asked her 'WTF was going on' to which she replied 'only certain people get to do this'.

I don't know if they still have kind of self service anymore.

I don't like them packing my bags, my Mrs wont even let me pack the bags she's that fussy.

The grocery stores my mom usually goes to don't have self-checkouts. Whenever we do go to a store that has those, however, we just use them instead. These things are really great to use and plus my mom, who really doesn't have technology as her pal(we were worried about giving her an ipod but she managed to figure it out thankfully), is getting familiar with these things. It really beats having to deal with cashiers who are just fucking slow and/or have a damn attitude, plus my mom gets to bag it the way she prefers without having to go tell the guy/girl how she wants it bagged(unless the person remembers my mom of course).

Doesn't bode well for those considering checking as a career.

The big supermarkets are moving towards automation and checkers as menial labor.  Same with banks - don't be surprised in a few years when walking into a bank to deposit/withdrawal is no more.  More automation = less human error and less $$ spent on labor.

And less jobs which means more unemployment which means more r-tards sucking up unemployment money which means we'll end up in a depression.

They said that about the industrial revolution... people afraid of machines simplifying things, let's all live in the stone age why don't we?
