Hey_Dude

...Everything You Wanted to Know About Scanning But Were Afraid To Ask........

What Is the Scanner? It's a handy price checking device - you scan the barcode of a product and it shows you the price the product will scan at.

Where Is the Scanner? This link will give a list of scanner locations for many stores.

Still Can't Find the Scanner Dude? Most Tesco stores have at least one scanner - Extra stores often have two - popular locations include clothing, pharmacy and pet food aisles.

Remember that the scanners require power (duh!) so check the walls and pillars as this is the easiest way for an engineer to run a power cable to the beastie.

If you can't find it quick! - ask a member of staff - to avoid asking any CS staff on walkabout try one of the staff doing a tesco.com shop or a shelf stacker.

What Can I Scan? Everything Dude! A can of baked beans - even a Dyson - just find the barcode on the item and lug it over to the scanner!

Won't I look suspicious? Probably not unless you have been fingered by CS staff or Security as a regular R&Rer when you enter the store - it's easy to feel paranoid when you are price checking - but to be honest staff are busy doing their jobs! The only problem could be if you scan something under the nose of a CS member of staff - just 'check your six' before you scan and don't look too guilty. Don't worry about CCTV - these are looking for shoplifters not R&Rers!

Scanner is Broken? The collective wisdom of this forum is that there is no Tesco conspiracy to break scanners - they will eventually get repaired - it's just not a top priority for Tesco stores - feel free to report a broken scanner to CS staff or Head Office.

Scanner Says No? I think you mean Scanner Says 'Contact a member of staff' - this is not unusual - scan the item a number of times in quick succession and you will usually get a price.

Can a scanner show me a multi save discount? No Dude, just the individual product price. Any multi save overcharges need to be checked on a real till. The Dude finds he sometimes leaves his wallet at home on these occasions...

Oh Leaders you've been a very naughty, naughty boy - you'll scare her away

The Dude is here to help with R&R advice.

Frequent likes to, well, give CS ladies his own take on 'Every Little Helps'.

You may not get any response to you question, as like me, people may not be able to understand what you are saying....sorry

Edit.....unless of course your signature tells the truth, and your post is indeed "just here to fill space"

I could not see a question in the post!

Translation for Leadhead

Hi all just a quick one if you start getting a prob with with cashiers checking prices then just use the self scan tills like i do, anything in a security box can be unlocked by cs or the person left to check we are doing it right

Hello everyone. A quick idea for anyone getting problems with cashiers checking and rectifying prices on stickered items. I like to use the Self Scan tills. The Safer case is unlocked by the GA manning the tills or by Customer Services.

I was preparing to change my first reply, and admit i erred in saying "question" instead of "post".

But then realised the "quick" edit you made to include the translation!


Having reread the OP, i mistook Self Scan Tills to mean Self Scanners........I now see the point, without the need for the translation.

Deleted the OP and admitted I read it wrong.

Didnt just disappear for days, or chose not to answer, after being proved wrong!!

Ive added a bit of bold and edited my post again......

And I totally agree with the post as well.......as some other MSE'rs will testify to...........never realised these SS tills would ever be so useful.
