Yesterday i had to do a drive by oatmeal run with my dad, so here i was with the carton at the checkout lines, and i see these self-checkout stations. I'm like, self-checkout is a novelty even at the _library_, and here's Albertsons all nonchalant going blah, bag your own groceries. I think, no way I have time for this, so I walk to the lines. The lines! Three counters open, each with like 7 people with 20 items each. Defeated, I ran back to the self checkout, which actually worked quite well. I think I'm converted now. Who needs checkout clerks?
