Marks and Spencer rolls out self-checkouts with a difference

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

When the self-checkout was first rolled out it was largely confined to smaller shops, with just baskets and a smaller number of items.

While some retailers have introduced larger self-checkouts, but there's still one crucial difference from the old-fashioned tills.

Now Marks & Spencer is rolling out a new kind of self-checkout machine in some of its stores. There are also plans to install more of the devices in shops across the UK in the future.

It is hoped that this will make them more suitable for customers with more shopping, including in trolleys, the Mirror reports.
