Will do.

A few months ago, I noticed that my local store had roped off all but one of the cash registers, and the employees were pushing “Cash & Go” hard.

Went to Customer Service and, in a friendly and non-confrontational manner, gently asked the lady there if she would find some way to relay to Corporate that doing away with the cashiers and trying to force digital payment on everyone was a horrible business decision, that would likely cost Sam’s MILLIONS of customers.

She looked surprised, then smiled back at me, whispered “I totally agree”, and said she would pass on to them what I said.

It’s got to be just a coincidence, but when I went back a week later, there were now THREE cash registers open instead of one, and no one was at the door pushing “Scan & Go”.

Interesting - I had planned on posting a thread on the new hand scanners at Dartmouth, Vanderbilt, Florida State, Boston U, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Westminster, etc.

But I couldn't find decent video yet (george76 had a great thread months ago)

I'm hoping some Evangelical Christians at those schools are noticing - Dartmouth and Boston U were trying the ONE-LANE thing to make the old way inconvenient - you can see 3 hand-scan and 1 old way lane in one of the following pictures

Hopefully the students can learn a little bit about the Bible (and begin to study) and learn about the Savior Jesus Christ (if any of them ever see these and share them)

At Boston University:
