High Street store Belfast, have self checkouts.Was just in a Lidl in Liverpool there that had self checkouts- are there any at home with these that I have missed?!
I was more excited than I should have been probably.
Was just about to post the same.High Street store Belfast, have self checkouts.
Self scanning in Tesco is far handier. Items scanned, straight into the bag and don’t need to come out trolley again till going into the car. Bar the 1in10 or so times they have to check your stuff.Plastic Tesco / Asda type crates are the solution. Stack 3 high in the trolley and can load them quicker than they can scan the shopping. plus don’t roll about the boot when filled.

X2This is one of the reasons I don’t pop into Lidl for a few bits. I always get stuck behind Agnes with a massive trolley who insists on paying with cash.
In England in the summer time it was a case of parking up, dashing in getting the kids some fruit, rolls, salami and cheese and out. A couple of minutes max. They need to roll this out all over the occupied six counties (oh and give us the English price on specials not the Free State mark-up we suffer).
Any self checkouts I used in France, you are in a pen type affair and can't leave until you scan your receipt. They've a security dude who does random spot checks like IKEA. The grocery stores here must lose a fortune with people robbing stuff on the self checkouts that don't weigh your items (like Eurospar ones).

This is the most accountant thing I’ve heard in a while tbh bet you are as smug as hell observing the fools with bags toPlastic Tesco / Asda type crates are the solution.

I’m a dull middle aged man that does his Lidl shop at 8am on the same day every week.
Done it this way for years. I can leave, cross traffic in Belfast, get the weekly shop in for 4 people and have it unpacked into the cupboards inside an hour, often less.
I have a route round the store and an order to load and unload the trolley for the most efficiency.
A real game changer for the whole operation was moving from bags to stackable crates and interjecting weighable & bread counter items to slow the checkout assistant down. There's no hard and fast rule there, you just have to feel the situation out at the time.
The worst scenario is coming up to an empty conveyor. Unloading whilst simultaneously allowing the checkout person to scan sinks the operation pretty early on. I'll either join a queue, allow someone to jump ahead or as a last resort send bulky / heavy items down first to jam up the checkout goods waiting area so that they can't scan any more and have to wait.
Before they ask you let them know it's card payment and you should be able to simultaneously punch the pin into the card reader while chucking stuff into the top most crate with the other hand if your operation has had a mishap half-way through.
Anything less is quite frankly school boy stuff. I can and will judge you. 100% fail if the next person is getting stuff scanned and you're still there packing.
@Coog do you drift round the corners like a D1 pro with perfect execution mimicking a single turbo manual supra?
Don’t tell me you’ve never strategically placed a bottle of wine side ways so rolls in situ to allow you some extra time!?The worst scenario is coming up to an empty conveyor.
