No Queuing At Sainsbury's, Pay With Your Phone

[trt]

Salisbury's does not expect shoplifting to increase as a result of checkout-free technology, because it believes the majority of customers are trustworthy.

I wouldn't be to sure of that, would you?

If they tackle every customer, then yes hc.

Providing service has no thief implications, bgh.

I stop going to shops who think it ok to imply I'm stealing. They can't have any reason to be suspicious so it has to just be plain nastiness. How dare they accuse me by their actions even if deliberately avoiding the words. I, at least, deserve respect.

It's not nastiness, it's realism. People do shoplift and shop assistants don't know you from Adam. It's simply foolish to assume that no-one will steal from your shop.

Well supermarkets must be naïve if they think every customer is trustworthy. In our town it would be 'organized crime'. One supermarket with self-scans are everlastingly doing checks. Even the joints of meat have special tags on them because they were always being pinched. Shoplifters will find a way round this system.

i wouldn't either, it still seem laborious, what if the item doesn't display the correct cost, how do you get your money back for example.

[andres]

^^^Or reduced items where the bar code has to be entered separately

[bhg481]

The current "Fast Track" system copes with those cases emie and andres, although it may involve a real person at a checkout; the new system just seems to take things one step further into full automation.

[emmie]

i confess that i don't like shopping at all, even online shopping is not fail safe.

The self scan does read reduced price stickers. I find it especially advantageous when Tesco has send me a '£12 off when I spend £80' voucher - I know if I've spent £80.

Well if you look anything like your Aviator OG, Im surprised they even let you in the store! :-)

they are going to develop a reader at the exits that you link with phone to check a payment has been made..according to a discussion on LBC last night

[andres]

There was a woman in Asda earlier this year who put the same reduced sticker on several items and paid about £15 for £69goods. This was at one of the self checking tills. She did get caught but it shows just how easy it is .How many times had she done this before?

Is that for just the payment, not all the items Murray?
