I NEVER use the self checkout. I would rather queue at the single one that is staffed. Why should I do the store's job for it? They already make enough money. Let them do the socially responsible thing instead and hire some more people. But if they start giving me a discount for saving them the cost of hiring those people, I will consider it.

I use Shop-n-Go at Pak-n-Save as it's faster and has less human interaction (other than the occasional rescan check).   The concept of filling a trolley, then having someone process each item from that trolley into another trolley in order to charge you for the goods is positively archaic and pointless double handling.

Not sure if it's already been discussed, but Apple TV

 

(Note: this is in the app installed on my TV, the Apple TV box may be different)

 

Pretty much every VoD service shows you a show and a brief description of it so you can get an idea of if it will interest you.

 

Apple TV - here's the title, and a picture; off you go.

 

For me, there seems to be an additional BDSD, when you move down to the next row, it doesn't start at the beginning of the row, indeed, it's hard to see where in the row of items I am

A genuine question: Why do people not want receipts or fuel vouchers? 

 

 

BPA?

If you're referring to PaknSav fuel vouchers - it's because we may go to PnS 3 times a week - and buy fuel once a month and then usually from Costco.
So, to us, their paper fuel vouchers are just a waste of energy.
