I thought I'd try one at the Asda over the weekend.
What a complete waste of time. ::)
Had to call one of the three members of staff that were lurking there to help, no less than 4 times to help me purchase about 10 items.
On the 4th occasion, the bloody machine wouldn't even recognise her! lol:
Scrap 'em, and get the staff to man the proper tills I say. happy088

S'cuse me. eeek:
You DON'T talk to the head snarler like that ,thank you. nonono:

Use Asda online ~ home delivery means you never have to set foot in the place again. You pay the same price, you are not tempted to buy things you don't need, you save on fuel and related driving costs and you NEVER need to see or hear screaming sprogs again. Franky I think anyone who goes to any supermarket deserves all they get.
Tesco ans Sainsbugs offer the same service. Only Morrisons stand out against it.

I don't know how much they charge for delivery, but whatever it is, it's just yet ANOTHER expense and strain on the family budget, just when we/I am looking for ways of cutting back.
I would imagine they pick out all the older stuff for home delivery too. ::)
Anyway, I enjoy rummaging around for the fresh stuff they pack at the back of the shelves, the same as I enjoy snapping off the stalks on the broccoli, and having a damned good snarl about screaming sprogs and blue rinse meetings blocking the aisles. eveilgrin:
What's the point in living if you can't have a damned good sweet as a nut rant ey? Shrugs:

I have tried them three times in total. I didn't want to dismiss them out of hand after all. However my experiences each time have lead me to conclude that they're more trouble than they are worth.
Bastard little shouty machines. cussing:

"Unexpected item in bagging area" WTF does that mean? Unexpected by whom?

Listen matey even the kids in ASDA aint worth tripping up . I recon the only reason you shop in ASDA is because you dont look conspicious with your builders bum and your "tracky" bottoms lol: come on man pull yer self together smarten yer self up and get to Morrisons . You know it makes sense .

Is right.
Trouble is, I started shouting back at the bastard thing, holding my arms outwards in innocence and sheer frustration. Banghead
Whatever, I shan't be using them again.
Oi you Royboy. Shut yer beak, and btw, I DO NOT display a 'builders bum, and Morisuns are shite IMO.

Growler only went off Morrison when they raised the price of their own brand Christmas cake last year. Before that you couldn't keep him out of the place .... as a trawl through the 2008 -posts will prove.
Hello me font's gone all funny .... back later
Was what I said.

I have a cunning plan regarding these machines I am busy packing and loading but rest assured by this time next year I will be a millionaire.

...and another thing.
This 'home delivery service' is just yet ANOTHER example of BONE IDLE BRITAIN. evil:
Whilst I appreciate it is virtually essential for some, in the main, and IMO, it is just yet another sign that the great FAT lazy British sheeples are more concerned with watching shite tv, sitting there like the Billy bloaters that they are, stuffing yet another family sized pack of Hippopotomus flavour crisps down their rancifd little piggy faces, washed down with a gallon of diet coke, quick belch and scratch of the arse, than getting the weekly shop in. sick2:

We'll be 'avin a 'home vists service' to wipe yer arse next. Angry9:

IIRC Snoopy had that service for a while whistle:

Whatever. I'm getting steamed up here thinking about all this.
Gaskets are shortly going to be blown. I can feel the pressure build up. evil:
We're a bloody useless nation of 'let someone else do it all' lazy bastards, and it's doin' me nut in. Banghead

Indeed I did.
But Home Delivery does save a lot of car journeys. Think of your carbon paw-print. angel1

I approve of Tesco intermong shopping (in principle, like evil:)

7 mile 'round trip, and I don't subscribe to this carbon footprint utter utter crap and nonsense anyway. evil:
Tree hugging lentil sucking sandal wearing with beige socks terminology shite. Banghead

I'm with the hound...we used to use Tesco on-line when we were in the UK... visiting the supermarket is for mugs... noooo:

I hate these bloody things....s'alright if you only have a few items but if you have to use more than one carrier bag it all gets very complicated with the whole weight, balance , distribution , electronic tell tale voice calling for feckin assistants thing evil:
-

Does it include the "purchase" of lightweight items such as expensive birthday cards held between other items, or thin items stuck together so that they go through as one?
-
I had a bit of a barney in Morrisons about these some time back evil:
I was convinced that it had given incorrect change but the manager was claiming they worked perfectly noooo:
If that's the case I told him, controlling myself, why are the other three all flashings their lights and NOT working properly? Eh? evil:

I see that TESCO are trialling a new to the UK concept of "Drive Though Shopping". Only at their Baldock store (Junction 9 or 10 off the A1M) ~ where my SiL lives in fact.
You phone through or order on line as per home delivery and tell them what time you wish to collect. Then you simply drive into the bay, operate the car boot lid without leaving the driver's seat and they load your shopping in for you and you drive off. So you don't have to go into the shop ..... nor do you have to pay a delivery sharge.
SiL hasn't tried it yet but I'll let you know when she does and if it works.
Seems to me that if this idea spreads Growler could have his cake and eat it. A trip to the store but not having to confront the sprogs, self service tills, miserable checkout staff etc.
PS She (SiL) is on the phone to SWWLTBO as I type. The Tesco Drive Through only started yesterday and she didn't know about it until I told her.
-
Another step towards total and ultimate bone idleness.
They 'll be introducing a 'we'll make your mind up for you as to what it is you want' scheme next, just in case the actual thinking bit becomes a bit too strenuous for some. ::)
Give me bloody strength. The country is goosed. Banghead

Oh what a total and utter utter bastard that would be for me.
I'd have to get off my fat stinking lardy arse and crawl 'round the back of my car on all fours, dragging my gut beneath me on a wheeled plinth to open the rear doors, as being a van, there isn't a remote release.
P'raps if I ask them nicely, they could employ someone to open the doors for me, to save me the agony, stress and heartache....for a small charge of course naturally. whistle:
