Of course it's going to happen that people incorrectly put stuff in bags to cheat the system, it's the same mentality that was in place with the bendy buses, if no one sees you not paying then it's not a crime and the risk of getting checked is so low that people will do it. Seems that the self scan and pay concept is not something that the honest amongst us is going to not misuse 🤔 Sadly that's human nature Years ago there were local grocers everywhere that used brown paper bags or newspaper to put customers fruit and veg into before putting them into the customers own bags and then came supermarkets who pushed them, the milkman, butchers and fishmongers into a virtual state of non existence , all for the sake of convenience and in so doing increased the amount of plastic waste we all had (plastic bottles rather than glass, veg pre packed in plastic and so on) Maybe we need to turn back the clock, use local businesses rather than the multinationals. It may not be convienient (paying in different stores, not getting everything under one roof...) but there are advantages 1. Keeping more of your spend in the local community 2. A sense of community rather than a faceless organisation 3. Businesses who know and love their products and who can advise on how to use it 4. The ability to reduce plastic use 5. Potential for less food miles (if it isn't in season then you may not get it ) 6. Less driving to large shops outside of the town centres (less pollution too) 7. Local employment guaranteed rather than centralised distribution centre employment possibly out of the area 8. Less food waste (no more perfect fruit and veg that the supermarkets think sells and return to misshapen fruit and veg full of flavour) I know it's a dystopian dream and yes it harks back to the good old days of the pre 90s and more local businesses will have to reopen as a result but if people are not satisfied with the likes of sainsburys, Tescos and so on then don't whinge on forums like this but create a ground swell grass roots movement and go back to shopping in local smaller businesses, use a milkman again, demand will be met if it's there Ps in the 60's to 90's all milkmen drove electric floats ... With the use of glass , home delivery and electric floats, where they ahead of the game and environmentally friendly only to be virtually wiped out by supermarkets greed !

Lemming, I've had different experience with pricing Late night saturday(s) coming back from Soho , uber quotes and charges almost exactly the same as a black cab (surge pricing) and also proved more difficult to get as they cancel after accepting. I've started to use black cabs more now as a result. Plus they always seem to have an interesting conversation starter 😂
