If you say that you dont have a clubcard, I have seen employees scanning other cards(Could be their own!!!). Obviously this is not company policy to scan a dummy card as not all of them do it!!!
If they get caught doing that however, they may be fired. Supermarket employees are specfically told that that is a breach of employment and a disciplinary offence. And in years of shopping at Tescos, I've never seen any do it (that said, I always have my card). Similarly with vouchers for schools etc... althuogh they are happy to pass them onto other customers (if you request them to do so), they are not meant to accept them themselves.
