Self service tills

[Snoopy]

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.

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.
