OK,
but
Oh!
their
tech!
Visited
today
for
the
first
time
in
a
while
to
buy
a
few
items.
I
used
to
shop
and
buy
fuel
there
until
they
stopped
offering
premium
diesel.
Anyway,
they
now
have
a
self-scan
system
(based
on
Bookers,
which
works).
So,
I
present
my
Clubcard
and
it
refuses
-
maybe
you
have
to
register
for
it?
I
buy
a
couple
of
birthday
cards,
but
then
noticed
that
without
the
card
some
items
are
50%
more
expensive
-
a
sort
of
inertia
sell.
I
decided
to
check
out
to
see
if
the
tills
accept
my
Club
card.
No
joy.
Next
stop
customer
service
desk.
Bit
of
a
queue,
try
card
there,
still
not
recognised,
try
app',
won't
log
in.
Told
to
reset
the
card
I
will
need
to
phone
their
HQ.
Reset
password
using
my
phone,
no
email
sent
so
reset
it
again,
this
time
receiving
the
link,
then
the
app'
wakes
up
but
wants
digits
13-16
from
the
card,
enter
the
last
4,
but
Tesco's
number
is
longer,
count
them
out.
At
last
the
app
is
working,
so
I
select
a
self-scan.
I
buy
five
items,
which
scan
correctly
and
head
to
the
checkout.
Scanner
won't
scan
the
bar
code
on
the
till
screen,
so
summon
assistance.
Purchases
all
scanned
again.
I
pay
and
request
a
receipt,
but
don't
get
one,
then
it
turns
out
that
one
item
(a
Β£4
pair
of
slippers!)
has
a
tag
on
it
and
this
has
to
be
removed,
assisant
arrives
again,
but
now
needs
the
receipt,
which
I
didn't
get,
so
has
to
[re]
print
another
and
removes
the
tag.
Finally,
just
three
minutes
short
of
an
hour
I
depart
with
my
purchases.
I
could
have
washed
my
hair
three
times
during
that
hour
and
it
would
have
been
more
fun!
Years
ago,
I
had
similar
problems
with
an
early
Tesco
self-service
checkout
-
I
was
buying
a
bottle
of
port
as
a
gift,
three
interventions
for
age
check
(I
was
about
sixty,
but
do
look
younger),
tag
removal
and
IIRC
not
needing
a
bag).
It
seems
their
systems
have
got
worse.
