The express tills are the best thing invented.

The tesco's near my work has a Krispy Kreme stall, so I usually get about 5 donuts, scan them through as regular donuts and pay.

£1 per donut, I pay......10p

Done it about 5 times now, saving around £22.50. Lovely.

It's better than not paying so you can say, "Oh sorry, I didn't realise" rather than being caught trying not to pay at all.

Thankyou Tesco's

yup i find the same actually and again in tesco's did some xmas shopping, every isle i went down, someone was in the way, or a trolley would block my route, only had a basket, and went in to get some small bits,

joys! it seems ppl are blind in there, and when you get to the check outs, GOD its sooooo slow, the effort required to stay awake

I am that dithering fool. I took a discounted loaf of bread through the automatic thing and it came up full price. Called the woman over who then took about 10 minutes to wipe 40p off my bill. The people behind didn't look so pleased.

*Agrees with Demo*

Getting 40 cages of stock off of 3 lorries at once 10 times a day is an utter twat Not to mention half the team going to the tills to help out there.

Lunch for me is a sandwich (front of the store) and a can of Relentless (far left corner) which usually results in powerfucked calf muscles
