Scan as you shop



Arrive at the checkout with everything already in bags, takes about 40 seconds to pay, and out the door, bags in the boot, done.

Had bag check I think twice in a year, they don’t unpack just scan 5-7 random items. Obviously in Silky Sainsbury’s the shoplifters stand out a mile from the normal shoppers, so they don’t check too often, appreciate this won’t be the case in every supermarket.

Do they just pick items out of the top of the bag? So next time I'm shoplifting I can put the stolen goods at the bottom

On a similar note, I used an app to pay for my petrol for the first time last week. Hard not to feel like a criminal driving off.

I see more and more petrol stations have a tv screen informing you how much fuel you’ve put in whilst showing you ads. I want to be able to order my coffee whilst the fuel is going in so I don’t have to wait while in inside the shop from that screen.

What’s the 5 mins for? If you’re loading straight into your bags then it should take no time.

Probs less than 5mins, just taking into account waving the assistant over for the over 18 stuff, paying, possible random check.

Used to do online but let’s face it. If there’s veg with 27th July or the 30th July they are going for the 27th. Same with milk, bread etc

What happens if on a random check they find you haven't scanned and paid for something. Collar felt or just made to pay?

Asking for a friend of course...

Made to pay and I think it might go on your nectar card, so if it’s a a regular occurrence they can ban you from using it. (Sainsys anyway)

Just send it back but they do warn you if dates a bit shorter ,had it twice, cream cake which we were eating straight away anyway and a curry which we planned to eat next night, so no worries

It's never happened to me, but I imagine it'll be recorded on your clubcard and ignored for a low value small item.

If it's short date and they don't tell you, you get the item free.
