    Never had to do that yet - despite scanning tons of stuff. Then removing it :D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Last week I put scanner back in holder without cancelling something as had no idea what it was :rotfl:so couldn't go back and remove. Paid for shopping at normal till, took it to car and went back in.
    Tried to get another scanner, but it said I already had one :mad: what a fuss trying to sort it out. CS had no idea, called supervisor, who had no idea, called manger who had no idea :( who then had to call someone from the self-scan team :T who knew what to do.
    Moral of story - don't put back a scanner without cancelling everything, otherwise it thinks you have walked off with it.
    I've used them in T's and yes they scan fine.
    Yes, at my Mr T store no problem.
    The coupon barcodes scan (assuming you've got OK quality printouts), but then flashes up a message for the SA to enter the retail price manually.

    I tried using at Sada and Tosco, before I hurt my leg.
    Were from the same print and the Sada one wouldn't scan at all, but CS put it through as a non scan voucher. Scanned in Tosco, but obviously needed price input.

    I cannot wait. I might start with- if you were a potato, what type would you be and why? And just build up from there.

    Now that would be good game to play. If I was a potato what one would I be. I guess a value one. As I like cheap prices. I bet that would go down well. :rotfl:
