Do self check out cameras add 20 years and 5 chins to anyone else?...

Assuming it's not just me 😬

I was in M&S, picking up a bottle of water on the way back from a lovely day out and I made the mistake of looking up and catching sight of myself on the security camera 😖😱

Honestly, I couldn't have cried. I was actually feeling pretty good about myself before then (for a change) as I'd been to the theatre and was a bit dressed up. Well, that didn't last long!

Do they have those aging filters or is this reality? In which case, could they add those youthful, less jowly filters?... 😂

@TimeForMyMonthlyNameChange Oh, they're the worst! I don't understand why all hairdressers don't invest in good mirrors and lighting. I sit there for hours every couple of months trying to avoid my reflection, which is obviously near impossible.

Mine offers options! You can have a mirror or spin round and look out the window
You can also choose music, lighting, whatever you want

I was in Asda last week and quite impressed myself with how I looked in the till mirror.
Worst one is the work lift window , I have a 'tasche and marrionette lines in that mirror Shock

Geez if the Asda ones are good I'm never going into another store! My reflection can best be described as "freshly dug up".

I notice that too and I try not to look at them 😂 they make me a weird grey colour too and I’m sure I don’t look like that

Yes, the police will use the photo on Crimestoppers if you're suspected of cheating the checkout 😂

My mum always says that there’s no need for Botox, fillers, facelifts etc as get older, just simply stop looking in mirrors!

I was in the middle of telling one of my DCs to behave and not touch the bagging area and caught sight of my self and said oh dear Jesus. I really didn't like what I was seeing. I looked like I had jowls. I walked back to the car thinking do I really look THAT bad? Maybe it was the angle and bad lighting, maybe i'm kidding myself.

They’re almost as bad as the mirrors at the hair dressers.

Was just about to post the exact same thing, it's a killer!
