Looking on Twitter, it appears they've done this in other locations too. Apparently it's because of too many people stealing.
Went to B&Q last night and they've put brand new self-service tills in. And drastically reduced the number of manned tills to two or three.

The new self-service has a camera pointed on you and a monitor showing this, with both a cordless barcode scanner and a fixed one (the latter of which doesn't seem to work).

Is the monitor showing your face some sort of psychological trick to make you think twice about shoplifting?

Cafe Rouge now wants to become simply Rouge. Perhaps the French brasserie pastiche isn't working so well after all..

The new B&Q self scan tills are very good. Far better than the disastrous old Nixdorf ones they used to have, and eventually took out of use. But yes they also involve removing more manned checkouts than required for the space.

Boots and Asda do the camera thing too.

Sainsbury's seem to have been rolling it out as well.

IKEA also updated their self-checkouts earlier this year, but the scanner guns are still as bad as ever.

In VH1 style, the new (old) branding has been replaced by the previous branding for Christmas tho.
