Do you have any self check-out registers anywhere around where you live? You know, when you go to pay, you check-out yourself instead of going to a cashier. It's fun! There's a touch screen, and you scan things yourself and it talks to you. It's my friend.

We have them at Home Depot, and Wal Mart, and they just put a bunch in at Albertsons. I use 'em all the time.

I've heard of them, but I've never seen it. The people in my town aren't smart enough to check themselves out. :(

Got em at the grocery store near my house. Unfortunately you still need to see a cashier on the way out if you buy beer or use a credit card, which is either or both pretty much every time for me. It's often faster to go through the lines now, though. Everyone is so hyped about the self-checkout that there's more people there than at the chashier iles. *shrug* I like em all the same. Pretty cool the way they eliminated several full-time jobs and crammed the same productivity into a smaller floor space. Yep, pretty cool, indeed.

Yeah, they're fun and mush faster most of the time. Even a superhero needs groceries.

Yep at WalMart...its funny how they always have to have an associate standing there to help out the hicks who don't know how to touch the screen. :D

I don't use them. I like to make the grocery workers earn their paycheck.

I used to be a cashier when I was younger, so I'm pretty skilled with it, and I know I'm faster than most of the cashiers there. So, I do it myself, I get done faster, I don't hold up a cashier's line, I sack my groceries the way I want, everyone wins. :D

I have no problems using it, but my dad was doing groceries and since parents buy all sorts of confusing things, they had some issues. So he doesn't like it.
