Do you remember when supermarket checkouts had animations of someone doing it. When did they get rid of that

[BeLoudRubyPanda]

Many years ago when you were paying for your shopping on a supermarket checkout, you would get an animated version of it shown. You don't see that anymore. When was it took away

I don’t think I have ever seen that! Sounds a bit like when you go bowling and there is an animation replaying your play!

I read “animations of someone doing it” in completely the wrong way 😳

But it did make me click your post!

Never seen that. Where was this shown? I can't think where the screen would be as you presumably mean staffed checkout with it being many years ago.

I don’t have a clue what you’re on about!!

When was this and in which supermarket?

It used to be seen in UK supermarkets. About 10 or 20 years ago

Here's a video of it seen in a Tesco checkout.

Was about to say I've never seen it, them remembered I've seen it at little Coops on the self service tills. Bit silly in.my opinion. Almost like telling us because we don't know what to do!

Ummm what is you miss about it?

On self service it was seen

It was the self checkout

Yes I remember this, it was quite recent in one supermarket, the woman had really bad streaks in her hair like proper 90’s ones

Ah that makes more sense. See when I think many years ago I'm thinking of the 70s and 80s because I'm old.

Oh that animation - she’s alive and well and gracing us with her presence in all of the Swansea CoOps with self service machines. Sorry I thought it was something different as sounded a lot more fun than a 90s-hair lady in a black Next bootcut suit! (You can’t see her trouser bottoms but I assume!)

PS. I call her Mandy when she asks me questions like if I want a receipt. “No thanks Mandy!”

Ditto. 🫣

I read it like that too! Animated version of someone doing what exactly?! 😂

Never saw that. Maybe it's like when escalators were a new thing and department stores paid people to ride them all day so the customers would see it was safe and join in. By now we've all got the hang of how self checkout works.

Me too @Baguettesandcheeseforever
