Hee-hee! Self checkout just got installed locally...I simply HAD to try it
out, so I bought two candy bars to play with the machines...what garbage!
it's almost as bad a POS system as the Arco pay on the island cash machines.

The funny thing is, I was thinking to myself the whole time "Isn't K-Mart
close to bankruptcy right now? How can they justify the expense of
developing and implementing this system right now?"...I guess they couldn't!

Yeah...K-Mart sucks...definately sucks...yeah...
