Thats fine, trollys are fine in the right circumstances, but the number of items should better restricted.

I had to laugh on Sunday when I went with my daughter to a local ASDA in Kent - this shop is in an area where there are quite a few gypsy sites/sink estates, the place was packed inside and the car park was like Battersea Dog's home with dubious looking canines all trying to kill each other lol.:eek:

There were huge queues at all the self service tills, but the manned tills were very quiet.

While I was sitting waiting for my daughter, behind the tills, I was sort of watching people, just to save getting bored, and these people were only scanning aprox 50% of their items. Obviously, they scanned the security tagged items, but not much else.

The staff standing about were obviously quite intimidated by it all and were not saying a word- trolley loads were passing through with 'unpaid for goods' in them.

Places like this must be losing a fortune.:eek::eek:

Oh great, so I and every other honest person has to subsidise thieving scum? Why didn't they call the police immediately?? Idiots.

Didn't the woman who sits inside the self scan tills have a field day shouting 'unexpected item in bagging'?????

I find it odd that ASDA's literally SHOUT at you, others are quite mild and give you a while to sort stuff out. but ASDA's is more like a drill sergeant, you must put the item on immediately, you must remove your bag etc etc

I'm with you, these people are a menace!

We should be allowed cattle prods in these instances...

The cattle prods should be used not only on cue-hoggers, but also on people that shop in places like Asda

The local tesco has barriers up so only baskets can get through. Think that is a good idea.

A cattle grid would also work and could also be electrified as per the zapper initiative previously mentioned
