In the R & R days there was a thread that had the locations of the instore scanners. I remember reporting many locations. The scanner in my store was not working the other day. It appeared to be on but just wouldn't scan anything. A quick thought and spotting a switch, off went the unit for a few seconds and then back on again and all was well. They are a computer terminal after all, so a quick reboot sorted it out. Just don't do it in front of a store manager!

And here is the thread but it's probably a bit out of date!

Thanks Martini, very helpful information :TThe mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work unless it's open0 -
I always do a double take when i read your posts because here in London Perivale Tesco is on the Western Avenue.
Your post proves what I just said about the scanners have they been taken out of action on purpose?
Yes, I apposogise for that

Yes
Actually I am a website developer by trade. I have been thinking for a while to put together a website to help us with things such as Price Checker locations, store locations, and to collect together comments about the individual stores. I feel it would be me giving back "my bit" to everyone.
If people think this would be of use, let me know and I will see what I can do in the next week or so... :beer:
that would be very kind of you, as said most of us visit same shops and same aisles and never notice where ;ricechks are.
thankss:beer:0 -
They're handy to use if you are on a limited budget and forget how much the goods are worth in your basket/trolley. Use the calculator on your phone to add everything up, not suggesting you do it with a jam packed trolley but a good reason to scan a few items before deciding if you want them or not

Tesco ought to have an app so you can scan whatever you like with your own phone. If they can do the shopping list app then I'm sure it's possible.Karma - the consequences of ones acts."It's OK to falter otherwise how will you know what success feels like?"1 debt v 100 days £20000
