Just experienced the new voice at our Tesco Extra. As I was on the scan as you go checkout, he didn't say much.
My impression is that he talks less than she did.
Did take me aback, though. Shows how used you get to things.

There is a little button with a speaker icon on the barcode scanner. If you press that there are five settings of volume including silent. It's independent from the speakers the voice comes from.Martin Phillp wrote:I had it at Tesco Extra last week. There was no bleeping while scanning which I found annoying.
Otherwise it's an improvement on the previous version of the self-scan software.

TVF's London Lite.
I've noticed more and more supermarkets are including clear perspex 'cutout covers' over the chewing gum shelves.
Does anyone know what purpose these are meant to serve? My guesses were some sort of anti-shoplifting idea, or stopping them getting knocked off by people walking by, but I can't imagine either were real problems so maybe I'm missing something obvious...
