        It sounds like a shop lifter’s paradise to me and what happens if you mistakenly scan an article twice or your phone runs out of charge? Will robots be filling the shelves? The unemployment figures will soar!pic.twitter.com/60zf4rDqfc

        Even more concerning, what if someone mistakenly doesn't scan an item? that could mean a criminal record.

        More and more automation. Less and less of the 'personal touch'. Lower customer satisfaction

        What about the older folk? They don't use apps. Some of them shop daily because they enjoy human interaction.

        @marksandspencer oh dear, stop this madness to edit out human contact at the checkout. It's not all about rush-rush neurosis. Some people enjoy non-digital interactions & conversation. It can even save lives. @bbc5live @bbcquestiontime @CBItweets @BBCr4today @mentalhealth

        you will need more security in stores to make sure customers are not walking out having forgot to scan items with #MarksAndSpencer #AmazonGo #scanandgo . A better idea is #iceland you pick items in store they deliver it to your home.

        Are you also banned from criticising #EstherMcVey? Seems she can get away with whatever she wants and it's never mentioned by political pundits or on the news. What hold does she have on all of you?https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/charities-gagged-by-ministers-over-universal-credit-rcq6b8g72 …
