Shoppers claim Tesco has gone too far with new ‘dystopian’ checkout feature
'Am I at border control or Tesco?'
Tesco's 'Scan as you Shop' system is gaining popularity, offering customers a faster, more independent shopping experience. This system allows shoppers to scan items themselves using a handheld device, eliminating queues at traditional checkout counters. As demonstrated in a recent TikTok video by What Gab Thinks, the process is straightforward. First, customers obtain a scanner by scanning their Clubcard at a designated kiosk. They then scan each item's barcode, weigh and label loose produce, and finally, pay at a self-checkout. While card and contactless payments are preferred, the video notes that assistance is available for those who wish to pay with cash. The video's author, What Gab Thinks, highlights the convenience of the system, particularly for those who prefer to shop quickly and independently, avoiding human interaction. The increasing popularity of this technology reflects a broader trend towards self-service options in the retail industry.
