    Mr S is our closest shop, and while I was on medical leave & recuperating, the easiest indoor space to get to, to practice walking!  Ours definitely give us the ambrosua price immediately and does and Mr A price match, so for a few things that we buy regularly there, we get bonus points and nectar prices as the app/website eventually learns your favorites and offers points. 

    We've never used scan and shop as last we checked, Mr S was not paying us salaries to be their cashiers, and we make a point of going to a real person not a self-service till!  OH now goes first thing on a Monday morning after dropping me off at the train station & when they see him heading to the till, they quickly send over one of the staff (who was probably gabbing rather than working) to a till to check him out.  Let's say he's not a patient man & very vocal about staff not doing their jobs correctly! (I'm sooooo glad I don't shop in store these days - LOL)
