I see not content with providing cheap inferior carrier bags, they now want us to bring our own. What a cheek. I might go in with a bucket tomorrow.

Iceland do excellent large carrier bags (about 3 times bigger than average ones) which have more than 1 layer of plastic, and seal at the top. The seal is an excellent idea, I have a pretty big car with a huuuge boot, and there's nothing more annoying that my shopping going all over the place when i turn round a corner. I've recently taken to tying the handles of Asda bags into a knot, but then you have to rip them open when you get home, thus wasting them. The SWINES.

I was using the self-serice till at my local Tesco the other day and had just about enough stuff to warrant two bags.
Whizzed stuff through and into the bags, aware that there was a reasonable queue behind me. Paid, went to pick up my bags and one immediately ripped (it certainly had nothing heavy in it). Had to repack everything from it into another bag while the stupid machine kept wittering "Please take your shopping... Please take your shopping... Please take your shopping... Please take your shopping... "
Was not happy.

No, I do the machine voice. They COULD have used a recording but they decided to employ actual people inside!

That's another thing, why are those machines so crotchety? Practically everything you do needs that biddy to come down and enter her little codes into the machine to OK whatever it's complaining about. Hardly "self-checkout"!nodnirG kraM wrote:Pehaps he too has an "unexpected item in the bagging area".cdd wrote:But the voice is female!Sput wrote:No, I do the machine voice.
