    I have a security check too, it's because I scan loads of stuff and delete. It makes no odds to me as they can't see any prices anf i'm not trying to steal anything.

    I don't mind but sometimes if assistant busy she takes ages to do my check.

    Today the only thing I scanned and didn't buy was the toilet roll but normally I scan loads things.

    Afternoon All
    Just been looking on the Debenhams site - pretty rubbish this year on the 70% discounts, but just found a pair of boots called "Bendova" :rotfl: someone wasn't thinking.

    So weird - when I went with Tiny shoes and her dodgy ankle earlier this week I was using hand held scanner to check prices and must have deleted about 40 items but when I sent to pay - fully expecting to be stopped I sailed through without it calling for a random check. Weird!

    I find the easiest thing to do is just use scanner to check prices, and cancel as you go :cool: Put scanner back and then go through normal till.

    I've done similar twice this week - even scanned items for other people and was fully expecting to be security checked each time.

    I put it down to having an innocent looking face :D
