Industry and businesses are  constantly on a quest for ~improvemrnt and upgrade~All  of them  trying to out do the other~
Making everything bigger   quicker and faster~Some of the retailers have resorted to the * Automated Cashier system*~~ which is a self serve  type of system  ~ I dont think that it was a practical  decision for everyone ~as a couple of places that had that system went back to the regular person cashier~
  Either it was a difficult way for some  customers to complete thier purchase or maybe there may have been problems such as theft or other things~
 Personally for myself  ~ i would appreciate being able to be greeted and greet the person handling the transaction and  and go about my way  ~
 It may be the only way of the future but if it is i hope that it is fine tuned   to an easier process~ than i found it to be  ~ thus far~Simpler and more convienent~
 Now there are certain things  that are automated such as the ATM  Now  thats ok with me~ because you do what you need to do and are gone in a few minutes  ~
 But when it comes to retail ~  I welcome   A Smiling Face~
