Tesco self-checkout - bag verification wait times

UIX Reimagined #9. It's Tesco self-checkout, but you can play Pong against other customers while you're waiting to have your bags verified.

Sometimes I feel like I’m waiting for an age for someone to come and verify my bags, with some supermarkets worse than others (Co-op I’m looking at you), so I came up with a way to pass the time.

Mini games while you wait aren’t new. Chrome gives you one when your internet connection drops, and Netlify has one you can play while a site deploys, which made me laugh. I’m sure there are plenty more.

Mockup of a Tesco self-checkout screen. It reads “Please wait while our attendant verifies your bags” and “Play Pong against other customers while you wait”, above a game of Pong between “You” and “Till 9”.
