Hi everyone… This morning it was a trip to the supermarket… I got all the stuff in the basket as usual, then decided to give the ‘self-service’ tills a go. It is quite a process, but then, they don’t trust everyone to be honest… It begins with placing the full basket on the left-hand side of the till. I use the touch screen to start the process, then scan each item’s barcode, then place item into my carrier bag on the right-hand side of the unit. I’ve now handled everything, and touched the touch screen to select payment type. I then use the card reader, and touch the screen again to get a receipt. Then it is back out to the car. So now, everything is on everything. Just as it was for the person on the till before me, and will be, on the next person to use that same till. Is is Okay? I don’t know for sure, but this process has always been okay for me before in my lifetime. This is a supermarket that probably has a thousand customers every day… In a small, close-knit community town. If anything big happens, we all soon know about it. It is a very reputable supermarket anyway, with a good reputation to protect. So, I get back to the car, and ride home… Carrier bag on the back seat of the car. What is on that? I really don’t know… Nobody has ridden in the back of the car for several days… But it doesn’t matter… It really doesn’t, no matter how gross it seems… I don’t know the science, nor do I need to… Reasonably clean… That’s all… It’s worth a try, isn’t it?
God bless you for reading.
