- alganet 1y agoWhat is that category and what other machines are in it?

- KPGv2 1y agoIn what way? I would really like to hear you explain how they revolutionized supermarkets. I use them every day, and my shopping experience is served far better by going to a place that is smaller than one that has automated checkout machines. (Smaller means so much faster.) Hell, if you go to Costco, the automated checkout line moves slower than the ones manned by experienced workers.
- Starlevel004 1y agoUnless you happen to be some sort of rodent that feeds off of discarded grains, the supermarket is not the world. And for small baskets, sure, but it was scan as you shop that really changed supermarkets and those things thankfully do not talk.
