I don't know. There's always a queue because the scanner wasn't reading the receipts properly and wlll only accept the receipt scanned once. We had to be helped through by a shopworker who checked we had paid. It was super-frustrating to wait and the gates were too strong to push through. We've just stopped going to Sainsbury's now and just use our nearest Aldi.
