Where are the self-scan Tescos?

Options
I have absolutely drawer-fulls of coupons, but whenever I go to my local Tescos, they won't take more than 2 or 3. I'm afraid I'm too shy to go and confront the manager waving letters etc like some of you brave people do.

I've heard people mentioning self-scan Tescos on here- they seem ideal for me.

Where are they located? I live between Rotherham/Sheffield- near J33 M1. Is there a self-scan Tesco near me? I wouldn't mind driving a fair distance if it meant I could pass off £50 worth of coupons

cheers, Lizzy

    I've asked Tesco support if they can produce a list of stores allowing self-scanning. Will post reply. ;)

    coupongirl, its unlikely you'll be able to use that much coupons as the self-service tills are monitored. If you pick a mad busy time / when there are studenty types, you can get away with more coupons!

  • I love the self scan Tesco's near me, everyone is so desperate to use the self scan aisles that if you wander a little further up the store there is usually an empty checkout with a member of staff waiting for you and your food!
    No reliance should be placed on the above.

    Where's New Oscott in Birmingham on the list?, who've had them for a few months now.

    I just posted here what Tesco sent me - if you know of others, please add them for benefit of all MSE folk. ;D

    Somebody started a similar thread in the 'shop but don't drop' thread and Newmarket's missing from your list as well.

    So, we'll assess the list here after a month and tell Tescos about the stores they forgot. ;)
  • Bad news for some. Looks like there's only one in Scotland and it's hundreds of miles from me! >:(
    If I had known then what I know now . . .

    This list is not comprehensive. Tesco in Alloa, Scotland have them. Just been and they accepted lots of vouchers. Was surprised to find they accepted the Sainsbury's voucher for £2 off a £20 shop when I only spent £6. ;D
