The public should boycot this supermarket. Facial recognition has to go. It's all part of the great reset. Our freedoms are at stake. You have to prove your identity just to buy a pint of milk.

You need the app to shop here. The people milling about outside are usually either downloading it or loading it up. Getting data and connecting to the app can be hit and miss, which is annoying. Once you have the app open you get a qr code to scan in at the gates to let you in. One person is able to scan in multiple people, which is handy. So you don't all need to have the app. If you've used the Amazon fresh groceries shops, then you'll be familiar with the premise. Basically the system of cameras and weights will sense what you pick up off the shelves and take with you. If you put things back on the shelves it shouldn't be added to your (virtual) basket. If it's your first time shopping like this, you might feel a bit weird about just putting stuff in your bag/pockets/hands and walking out. The app is linked to whichever credit cards you load on. There are no tills, so once you're done you just head back out the exit barriers and that card will be charged. There are staff about to help if you're confused or unable to get in/out. Generally the receipt takes a few mins (at least 5) to be emailed and uploaded to the app. So, don't expect to instantaneously be able to check it. However, you should once it's available as sometimes the system miscalculates what you took or misses what you put back. You can make a challenge via the app and it should be resolved not too long after.
