I had so much fun today. Childish fun I know, but fun all the same.
I went to the local Asda Walmart to just pick up a few groceries, in particular a bottle of Pernod to drown my £350 mistake, and went to the checkouts to pay. And what do I find? They have some self checking checkouts.
How could I resist? It was like playing shop when you were a child, except you got to play with the real thing. You just stand there and scan in all your items, you get a nice resounding 'beep' and then a voice announces exactly what it is you've just scanned in and the price. This voice announcement grates after a while and I'm not sure if I like what I've bought being announced to all and sundry - could be a little embarrassing sometimes!
Once you've finished you can choose whether you need any cash back, which it dispenses for you, you choose how to pay (all the major ways of paying) and then you go. You can only use the facility if you have less than 10 items but it was really quick, probably because most people are still unsure about using them?
Fun, fun, fun (I know little things...) but I felt about 5 years old again. And that can't be a bad thing, can it?
