How to get Sainsbury's Coupons *before* you shop

Surely every machine takes a job from someone

That’s why AA batteries are hidden from the mrs. Not so rampant now is it?

The self-service checkout hawk in my local will be practically sitting on my shoulder if I try this

I don’t use self scans they take jobs from people

Yeah, coming over here, taking our jobs...

It's too late for that once the till has been installed!

I don't use public transport for the same reason. I have several chauffers instead.

Yeah I know what you mean. I don't use cars, I prefer to pay people to just carry me to the places I need to go.

I usually buy the cheapest thing I can find to get the coupons then go back and do my normal shop with my coupons.

1 very small carrot or onion is usually really cheap.

I think this frees up staff so they can stack shelves rather than items running out.

Did a self service checkout steal your job

Think you need to hide the C cell batteries..... haven’t you noticed she’s always happy lately!!

Did you get replaced by a self service til ?

chapchap01/05/2018 23:41

If true then that’s fantastic. Will try next time I go

People in here actually believing that self-service checkouts don't solely exist because they're cheaper for the supermarket than a human cashier. And making fun of people who don't use them out of principle. The ignorance in this site's comments never ceases to amaze.

Doesn't surprise me that nobody has ever told us you could do this. Nice find op cheers.

Haven't been getting any vouchers from the till recently. Used to receive them every time.

kencol02/05/2018 05:39

Yeah, coming over here, taking our jobs...

Taking our women.... Bloody robots

@unhappybunny your logic is a tad flawed in that it takes far more people to build these machines than the single person who used to operate the till. Would you rather 10-20 be out of work than the potentially 1 on a till who was actually more than likely redistributed to another part of the shop....

You have plenty of time then. You can pay my bills as well please.

A revelation! Thank you

So I can get all those adverts for insurance and credit cards without buying anything?

townendmatthew02/05/2018 09:16

Not true

It's true to an extent. I've worked in retail including retail management for almost 10 years now. A certain pool of hours are allocated to the store for staff. This pool may change depending on the way the organisation works for example it may increase if sales increase and likewise reduce if sales reduce. Till trained staff in larger supermarkets generally stay on that task for the most part during their shift.

The presence of self service tills means less hours given to the store which ultimately equates to less staff needed. It's a cost saving exercise and also offers convenience for customers - that is when they aren't bleating out "unexpected item in bagging area" at a ridiculously loud volume.

sad but true

I buy something cheap for example one banana and I get all the coupons...

Antony Worrall Thompson tipped me off about this one years ago

tikibeach02/05/2018 00:59

That’s exactly why self-scans should be installed in every single shop so that people wouldn’t waste their life doing a job that can be done by a machine. (And I know what I’m talking about, I was working for Sainsburys for a while)

tikibeach02/05/2018 00:59

I hope you don't use supermarkets either; but instead go to a traditional store where the shop-keep brings the goods to you.

If you do go to a supermarket, you at least leave the trolley right in the far corner of the car park.

Amateurs. I don't pick up free papers to show solidarity with unemployed town criers everywhere.

[Image] Great thread @dazigster !

Thanks! I only just became aware this was of interest to anyone else at all when - bizarrely - I started getting national news stories about it turning up in my Google News feed of "stories I might like":

mirror.co.uk/money/hero-shopper-spills-little-known
manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/uk-news/sainsburys-nectar-coupons-triple-point
birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/shopping/hero-sainsburys-shopper-reveals-nectar

I guess Google knows me well.

"Hero Shopper"? I'll take that

Um... does this happen every time you post something on here? (edited)

We switched to Aldi. Sainsbury’s is IMO expensive. The vouchers make it bearable(just) so heat to the OP.
