There is nothing in the world quite as satisfying as wheeling a whole trolley full of stuff past the queues, putting a card in a slot to pay, and walking out the door - 20 seconds from deciding you've got everything to leaving the shop, vs about 5 minutes using a till.

I like the fact you can order from the catalog and if there's something wrong you can just take it to shop and get it replaced/refunded.<br>Mind you, I found they had no quibbles about swapping out a heater I ordered. Next day bloke turns up with a new one and takes old one away, sweet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961660238450693245.post-44406703827418740372003-04-11T13:59:00.004+01:002003-04-11T13:59:00.004+01:00Yeah Rick, my local Safeway at home has had the sy...Yeah Rick, my local Safeway at home has had the system for years but no-one uses it. Didn't realise it's because they are out of order all the time. I thought it was because the gun dispenser doesn't glow and go 'puttttusss'.<br>Has anyone been to Argos recently? It 0wnz the catalogue shops. You can pre-reserve your item online from stock by any of local stores.

I'd be more inclined to get down to Sainsburys if the scanners were like the laser things from Blake's 7 :) As it is, I tend to get all fresh fruit and veg from my local shops (which I reckon more people should do) and get all the tins, sauces and frozen stuff off online shopping (few big blogs on that awhile ago).<br>Makes me think, why don't they make a proper FPS Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961660238450693245.post-30594883948387866952003-04-11T13:59:00.000+01:002003-04-11T13:59:00.000+01:00That's pretty smart, although I'd be a bit pissed ...That's pretty smart, although I'd be a bit pissed if I'd scanned everything like a good scout and then got checked at the end. And if Ididn't get checked, then I'd wish I'd bunged an extra bottle of malt in the trolly. It's an evil system if you ask me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
