Canvas bag morons at self-service tills

Well that saves you touching something that 100's of other people also touch, during a global pandemic where we are told to wash our hands constantly.

Why worry then, their hands and you hands will be clean.

 

[VincentHanna]

Because people are idiots?

they might be if people werent adjusting their mask every 5 seconds and taking them on and off

Surely not canvas bag toting guardian readers though?

I just use self scan app on my phone and backpack. Minimal contact with surfaces etc. and easy to sort once home.

I put on gloves before I enter the building and throw them away afterwards. I have medical masks as well as I have access to good friend who is a nurse who has provided me with some good PPE. I use antibac alcohol gel and carry around a pot too.

I've been fortunate, when I've been out discipline seems to be pretty good apart from over 50s who seem in a lot of cases unable to remember to actually use the mask to cover they face and have it proped below their chin or only cover their mouth with it.

I do this. Stuff bag with shopping, empty bag on checkout thingy, then place bag on scale and fill it up again as I scan all my stuff.

Small shops only though, when it's too small for a trolley and I cba with a basket.

I do it too, I'm going to do it more often now I know it makes others seethe with impotent rage

 

[Martynt74]

Never seen that lol

Sounds like a London thing?

Surely the sensible thing would be to have 2 bags

Or use a basket like a normal person and then pack into the canvas bag?

 

[Minusorange]

It's not a difficult concept

Put shopping in basket/trolley, then put in bag at checkout, I'm not surprised though that there are people who struggle which such a simple idea

 

[Thekwango]

Please, will somebody explain the issue!? I take my canvas bag, fill it, empty it whilst ringing through the till, then refill it. What, is, the problem?

i'm with you on this one.....so folk are moaning because someone has used their own bag instead of a basket?! time difference to empty a basket over a bag being measurable in seconds???
weird what triggers some.

It's hot, all the crazies come out

 

[Yaayuh!]

It's hot, all the crazies come out

Indeed, I think the heat is getting to some people, I hope It's the heat anyway.

 

[PiKe]

Never seen this but can't say the situation in the op would annoy me that much really.

 

[Illuminist]

We are so well trained , congratulations to us all.

 

[stockhausen]

I feel your pain @Lysander, one more major tribulation to ruin your day

 

[lurkio]

one of my buddies pointed out that tills in super markets should be split into male and female
Thought about it and its a great idea, the blokes Q's will always move faster , no messing about with hand bags vouchers etc

 

[cheesyboy]

There is no reason not to use a basket or trolley then load your shizz into your bag after paying or during check out.

If you're cycling, then you need to be able to get it all in your backpack. So filling it on the way around the store guarantees you don't buy too much.

Also a good point.
