I have to say otherwise Alan Self service tills I have seen have been well used. In Tesco's Asda and Ikea. I now use them to avoid waiting for tills. There are niggles like having to see someone anyway because the booze needs the security device taken off. But for small shopping trips they are fine. But I am not convinced either on the android app thing. It might work if it included scanning so you can take your phone to checkout and it does it all for you. I have seen something similar in l'eclerc here in France using supplied scanners. And how many times have you had to ask a Tesco employee where something is. I have had to do that. Al

Are Tesco shops that huge that people can't find their way around without GPS? Mobile reception inside most ones I've been in is crap, never mind not having line-of-sight to a satellite ... Will people bother entering an entire list into a phone before they go shopping, especially if they only need the essentials ? Most regular shop-goers are women, and they know the exact location of everything and the optimum route already. Colour me unconvinced. Even stuff like self-service tills haven't really taken off. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/015f01cc1ae0$23e44260$6bacc720$@com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
