I knew that was true, pretty much in the soda isle. And the potato chip aisle, too. Hmmmm.....

Mr. Krueger was fueling his missiles in “Crimson Tide”!

That will help,

for now.

Eventually. The simple pleasure of grocery shopping (without crowds, that is) will eventually become like Nazi Germany. All stores, including Wal*Mart will eventually have no cashiers at all. Though they were once depicted as scanning the MotB, they won't even be required for the new systems. Once they are fully-implemented. Cool technology and quick. There will be assurances that "it's not the Mark of the Beast". And it won't be when it starts. I actually saw them on local TV assure everyone that the thumbprint/fingerprint reader at a local store was not the Mark of the Beast. No, it's not. Things will change as cash is slowly eliminated.

Eliminate physical cash - make all transactions electronic - what could possibly go wrong?

Just for grins, take a look at this first picture. Tell me that's not your current-day liberals worshiping Barack Hussein Obama. And they STILL do it.

About the wrist bands - the user is the patient so they would have to volunteer in purchasing the wrist band to have their data in the cloud.

“Just drag the cart from the front. Don’t even have to touch the handles.”

See, Pollard, that’s why I like this site. Never even dawned on me to pull the cart by the front. LOL

I wear gloves because I cannot tolerate coldness. Someone else on the site mentioned using plastic bags, which I didn’t think of either.

Both great ideas!

“Rfid Ferriday gloves, well only the right one, are gonna be real big soon. The Michael Jackson look is gonna be current again. Not that I plan or want to be here when that happens.”

Okay. That reply had me LOL!

The data is data. It is not personal

The collection is now possible but far from real

Wouldn’t your jeans fall down without a waistband?

Am I the only one wondering about that in this pic? Probably. Lol.

"They should program it to recognize a shopper’s intention to shoplift and..."

I would be a little surprised if this wasn't part of the present plan. A sudden increase in heart rate as strolling out past the register? Please step right this way.

"About the wrist bands - the user is the patient so they would have to volunteer in purchasing the wrist band to have their data in the cloud."

Agreed. That's why I mentioned the users agreement.

I’ll buy a shopping cart...and use it...

Apparently, the pic was too suggestive for the mods.

I don’t shop at Walmart except occasionally now and I guess it would be ok. I shop at Aldi’s really love that store, their meat prices can’t be beat! I love the fact that they keep control of their shopping carts by making you pay a quarter to have one to use!

[Jane Long]

They should program it to recognize a shopper’s intention to shoplift and send an associate to follow that person and interact if necessary. /s

ONLY if said shoplifter is NOT on EBT benefits.

Those folks tend to get a pass, for such behavior. :(
