"About half of the 24 people who came into the supermarket paid for their groceries using the self-scan service. The service stopped working after alcohol was scanned, requiring a staff member to check a customer's age before the system is unlocked."

The owner, Mr Miller, was quoted as saying "I can certainly see the funny side of it... but I'd rather not have the publicity to be honest. It makes me look a bit of a dickhead."

Rather than take legal action, Mr Miller is hoping that the people who didn't pay will do the right thing."
