I live in Massachusetts and Stop-n-Stop (the "Massachusetts supermarket chain") was beta testing these or something similar with select people a few years back. most of the time it takes you a while to realize and/or take advantage of the actual convenience. most people are either afraid or sick of being hassled by technology. anyway I think it's a waste of money. those new digital self-checkouts aren't any faster... but they get the user involved (removing boredom) and slow things down even further when idiots use them. plus they eliminate jobs.:\
I submitted the article in and they summarized it and threw it up... even stole one of my links!:\ at least the site didn't go down though. (woulda been crazy!)
