Coupons and Tesco self service

How many coupons will a SS machine take before alerting a supervisor? Is it the number of coupons or a percentage of your total shopping?

    It is % of shopping, and it depends what they have been set to.

    Most SS machines are set specific to the store. The only way you can find out is by testing it :)
    Stopped smoking Jan 2007 after 23 years!
    Cigarettes NOT smoked = 240,945
    Smoke free days = 11 Years :T
    Cash saved so far = £125,45,11

    Ours seem to beep randomly so again I pick my person - there are a couple of SAs who are great on the SS tills but most won't let much through without checking them all. I don't use them very often for that reason.

    I shopped in Asda on Saturday afternoon , got a total of 15 items ( about 5 were reduced stuff)
    for £5-37.Used my £3-98 coupon for Omega 3 kids pastilles (which have been hanging on to for ages to use !) and paid a total of £1-39 for 2 bags worth.Felt a bit nervous as CS were hanging about the SS !!
    Remembered that as long as they stock the item , you can use the coupon .:j :j
    The truth shall set you free.....................
