You only have to go to customer services the first time.
To have a chat with the checkout girl.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -
Yes, it is good and easy.
Go to customer services, hand over your clubcard and say "I'd like to register for scan as you shop, please". They spend a few minutes doing stuff with their computer, and off you go. It makes shopping so much quicker. These days when I see people at the check out taking all their items out of the trolley, and then putting them all into bags, I wonder why they are wasting so much time. Not to mention the people queueing for checkouts when there's never a queue at all at the "scan as you shop" payment area.
I don't understand, Lydia (we don't shop at Tesco very much, though OH does have a Clubcard voucher to use atm.). How does Scan as you Shop work?
Welcome back ndg, lovely to "see" you :j Hope all's well with you.0 -
I'd just keep a stock of bags in the boot of the car, then bag up from the trolley directly into the boot.You would be doubly amused seeing me at the scan and shop checkouts having paid putting everything into bags having forgotten (again) to grab some on the way in and bag stuff as I go round.0 -

You scan your clubcard when you go in and are allocated a hand held scanner. You then scan each item you buy and load it into bags into your trolley. Then when you have finished shopping you go to the self scanning checkout, zap your hand held scanner at the till and all your purchase data zaps over to the till. You pay and leave.
Personally I think that the extra seconds it takes zapping each item add up to as much as using the tills, but maybe I'm slow.
If your clubcard is already registered, you don't need to go to customer service the first time in store.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

I often have another think about what's in my basket (very rarely, trolley) before heading ti the checkout. Plus I'm fussy about how I pack my bags (heavy stuff/ raw meat at the bottom) but don't necessarily shop in that order. I prefer heading to a manned checkout but will self serve if the queues are too big. Never tried scan and pack. Just thought: probably wouldn't work with a basket anyway.0 -
Delurking to say welcome back and you have been much missed to Never Despair Girl. How are you?0

I have several bags on the go at once - for fridge, freezer, room temp food, and non-food, for example - although it depends on how much I'm shopping for and what.
No I don' t think it would work with a basket, unless you had more than two hands.Loanranger wrote: »Delurking to say welcome back and you have been much missed to Never Despair Girl. How are you?
