    That should have Adli / Lidl quaking in their boots.

    Over optimistic prices in the shelving areas, is Tesco's problem.

    Wonder why they don't have an Irish voice for the stores in 'Eireland'.

    ProTip: Every Tesco self-service till has a mute button..

    It should have the voice of this little baby

    Now that yer man has retired from X-Factor he should do it. Every unexpected item in the bagging area will be subject to an audience vote and Louis Walsh will cry if you don't buy Irish. Cheryl Cole will batter the attendant if he's not quick enough to do the alcohol purchase check.

    The machine always helpfully reminds you to
    take your items after you've bought and paid for
    them.
    Thus avoiding that 'oh sh1t' moment when you get
    home and have left your shopping at the store(again)

    Tesco Ireland tried to 'localise' the voice about 10 years ago. The first one had a really phoney D4 accent and the next offering was like something off the Moore St market.

    She only barely stops short of saying "Hurry up, dopey :rolleyes:.."

    They really need Gordon to do the voice much like he does in Prison

    D'arcy was on about this yesterday, they put a shout out to Tesco that The D'Arcy Show would hold a competition to find the Irish Voice of Tesco, if Tesco would back it

    I can't claim this as my own joke, but I thought it was funny (Daily Telegraph)

    'I was checking myself out in the bagging aisle at Tesco's yesterday and got called a pervert' :D

    I fcking hate that. You've everything piled up in the bagging area and you're transferring it back to your trolley or into your bag or whatever and the machine basically keeps saying 'take your sht and get out', and you're there yelling at it "I'm packing my fcking bag!"

    Or maybe that's just me.
