Unless we choose substitution then they will swope an equivalent or more pricey product when the original one is out of stock.

But I rather select no substitution. Especially I am quite particular on the wines I buy.

But no substitute then there will be the delivery fee?

No deliver charge even when the OOS item bring the total purchase value below delivery charge waiver.

It occurred to me once. When 2 bottles of wine I ordered went OOS.

Probably they will charge delivery when it falls below certain amount without substitute.

NTUC self checkout kiosk you need to place entire basket on the checkout table, wait for all items scanned and place them on the other table before can pay. Any other super market need to do this? Giant is simple, just scan and pay.

I used to do my shopping at FP and then once day I went to SS to do my shopping....and found out some (not all but some, majority) of the things that I commonly buy in FP, it is cheaper in SS....

mind you, 1 item I save $0.20, just imagine every weekend i spend $200 on groceries and the savings...is like 2 plate of chicken rice..just nice for wife and me after shopping...

Recently, I re-discovered Prime supermart near my house within walking distance.

They have quite a bit of discounts for many product. So I keep going back to find more cheap stuffs and groceries. 😁

A lot of stuff was not found in my neighbourhood Fairprice, which is quite miserable in selection.

Still have few hundreds of hardcopy vouchers and few hundreds digital vouchers with them...pls...glitches ornot...long live aunty lucy...mmm tang toh until i use them all...🙏😅

rfid is the best, like uniqlo, put everything there and they will detect all the items, no need to scan one by one.  

[Ody_2004]

Put RFID tag in every plastic bag, so you do not steal. 😁

All the product has the net weight recorded, so when scanned, it will record the total weight of basket and all products, then deduct the scanned product weight on the other side.... 

The cashier is just a human deterrence, the self check out scanner by itself is smart enough to know if all items in basket been scanned properly or any item been purposely left out.

Of course I know how it works. If the idea is to encourage self check out, then they better design bigger counter. What they have are for a single basket with few items checkout. I have toilet rolls, tissue boxes, groceries, etc. end of the day, the assistant will have to bypass the system. It is no more self check out liao.

Yup. Its mainly for single basket purchases. Trolley load need to queue at cashier checkout. 

I hated to wait when buying wine at self check out while the assistant was busy with other counter. There was once I needed to walk up to her to get her attention.... even after attended other counters she still didn't notice the red light at my counter.
