Cool. Brings back another "childhood" memory. Part of my Winn Dixie job in high school was filling in as a "checker". It was amazing how quickly I got to where I rarely had to look at the price stamped (remember "jack stamps"?) on an item.

This subject also reminds me that one of my daughters was on the phone with me recently while the grocery person was loading her online order into the back "hatch". They apparently never even interacted. Mind boggling to me. Reminds me of my lack of understanding of how tipping has evolved in this country. I think I might have twice received a quarter after helping someone out with their groceries during those years. There's never been a faster bag boy than I in my prime. . . :-)
