        i wish the math was there for him to run for senate in Indiana but he'd be a solid Sec of Defense if he wanted to keep doing the cabinet position -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 22, 18:23 1
        
        Yeah. I feel that he'd do well in the Senate, for sure. -- (edited) - znufrii Jul 22, 18:28

From b2: Self checkouts aren't going away completely. What has changed is how they're going to be utilized going forward as express lanes. -- nm - Qale Jul 22, 16:54 24

  - I almost never buy more than like 5 things. -- nm - mafic Jul 22, 18:51
  - I'm not sure why people do huge cartloads, honestly. Control, overconfidence, not wanting interaction... I dunno. -- nm - Qale Jul 22, 17:19 3

  - I used them for all my grocery shopping, so now I'm going twice as often and buying half as much each time. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Jul 22, 17:05
  - I still haven't been trained on monitoring self check out. All I know how to do is turn a lane on, print an employee barcode to make sign in faster, -- (edited) - Qale Jul 22, 16:58
