I use it at Aldi, its very quick.
I dont like it as its taking people's jobs.
Also.........
1. Any alcohol needs a member of staff to clear it.
2. It doesn't recognise reduced/YS items so again you have to call a member of staff to ok it.

My Bro (the clever one) went to school with an Olympic swimmer by the name of Neil McKecknie (spelling??)

Morning all . I don’t think anyone famous went to my schools . 😀
Anyway it’s a very wet and grey day here in Coventry . Just back from taking my daughter to another interview ( fingers crossed ) and now thinking about lunch and another coffee.
Looks like my exciting day on rescue duty tomorrow is off . TBH I am sad but rather glad , the weather for the weekend is looking very windy and it can get a little risky if you end up with a lot of capsizes and boat breakages .
The commodore of our club ( Mrs Exlaser ) did ask me what I thought and I said we should still run the event , after which she asked around other committee members and promptly cancelled the event .I think that’s sort of sums up our relationship after nearly 36 years lol . 😀
