I bought a carving knife once in Tesco and went through the self-service checkout. Attendant took the knife away to remove the security tag and didn't bring it back. Then practically accused me of stealing the knife because I said I hadn't got it.
He went through every bag (which I then watched him repack) before admitting that it had "disappeared somewhere, then".

Last time I was in Tesco, all the "self service" tills were saying error this or wait for assistance that, their customers stranded and looking helpless, while those of us in the "one basket only" line were getting through quickly and efficiently.Comment
