    And, ya know, you never see homeless folks pushing around shopping carts so strapping $600 (or whatever) PC onto them is a good idea. Somehow.

    Oh yeah, great. That's all we need! Like the lady who isn't paying attention to where she's driving her cart isn't already distracted by all the advertisements all over the store, now we need to give them a reason to be staring at a little TV at the end of their cart the whole shopping trip? Get your armored heels out folks, I see a lot of carts smashing into the back of your feet.

    I hope to god they don't put sound on those little TV ad things either, I already want to bash the talking advertisement gas pumps in with my tire iron...if it weren't for them being so explosive and all.

    Ugh.

    In Virginia (probably other places as well) Martin's grocery store uses a handheld scanner that shows the item price and calculates your total at the bottom of the display. It's really convenient as you can bag you items while shopping and go through quick checkout to scan you total at the register and pay without wasting time taking items out of the cart to scan individually. I wish more places were like that.
