Tesco shoppers in stitches over 'weird' voice choice for self-checkouts in supermarkets

Supermarket giant Tesco is making a major change to its self-checkout tills. The retailer wants to change the noise its tills make when there's an 'unexpected item in bagging area' notification.

Anyone who has ever used a self checkout will know just how annoying it is when you scan an item, plonk it in the bagging area, and get screamed at by the checkout. Now Tesco wants to make that process a bit easier to swallow, and is hosting auditions for people to become the next voice of its bagging areas.

You do, of course, risk becoming one of the most hated voices in Britain. But who cares when you can annoy thousands of people on a daily basis, really?
