Tesco’s self-service checkouts have turned SUPER creepy for Christmas
It's Christmas! So it's finally time for the big shop at Tesco.
You have your Christmas list sorted and your basket full of festive treats.
You have no desire for any human contact, so you head over to the self checkouts. You scan your items, stick in all your loose change and just as you go to take your receipt, you are startled by an familiar voice.
Yes, that is the self checkout machine doing a Santa Claus impression.
Hmm.
We are used to the checkouts giving out to us for putting an "unknown item in bagging area" but we were not expecting this.
And it turns out that most of you are less than impressed at having the self checkout machine "ho ho ho-ing" at you.
I got the shock of my life this morning when the self service checkout in Tesco said "ho ho ho Merry Christmas"

Tesco's self-serve checkout "Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas" can just sod right off…

Okay @Tesco we get it you've had a bad year. But your self checkout scanner shouting ho ho ho at me is so weird and uncomfortable.

The self-service checkout at Tesco says "Ho ho ho" when you pay. Jesus wasn't born for this.

Just last Summer, Tesco changed the voice of their self service checkout machines as many customers complained that the voice used was too angry and "shouty."
They did not tell us that Santa would be greeting us come Christmas.
You have been warned.
