Go to asda they ask for your pin. This country is setting it self up to be ripped of in a big way.

Your right. but arnt they a pain.its quicker to go to the normal checkout.
yep, 1 of the most abused of systems and relying entirely on honesty. and as we all know good old fashioned honesty is dying out.
why tescos doesn't complain more is that the rest of us dumb shoppers, pay thru the nose on a regular basis!
They've started putting in pin machines recently..

They have started introducing chip and pin machines at the self service tills. My local Tesco had them installed last week after this problem was publicised on some TV programme.
I used one recently, and bought an Xbox 360 as part of a £60 total buy. Paid by card and had to have someone come over to tell the system I was old enough for the 18 cert game, and to remove the security box from the game.
After he'd done that, it printed out a receipt, which I had to sign. I guess its all part of the normal security in place on all bank cards - if you go on a spending spree, buying lots of things, then eventually you'll find yourself needing authorisation. Happens all the time at work (London Underground) especially when people are buying expensive season tickets.
Actually they are crap. They keep squealing "unexpected item in bagging area" when there's nothing there!
But I see what you mean. You could have a bag on the floor or slip things into your pocket and nobody would know. Plus they don't ask for a pin so you could theoretically use a stolen one.
