  • My preferred is self checkout, unfortunately The self checkout at every grocery store i go to is utter SHIT for a weekly trip. They are fine if you have a few items.

    For a big shopping trip, The carts are not setup for it, the checkout area is way to small and the registers arent positioned/configured correctly.

    One store has a scan option as you go that is awesome. You scan as you go down the isle and put your stuff on your bags, at the end you scan a bar code on the scanner and pay. Only problem… it typically crashes halfway through the shopping. It is unusable.

    Coincidently, I am at Bethany Beach in Delaware, rented a house for Ocean’s Calling, we went to Giant for stuff and AMAZINGLY the self checkout was excellent.

    It was a typical chechout lane with a belt etc thar had a self checkout register… it worked perfecly.



  • I have had three…

    Two were encounters with sharks in the ocean, and while both sharkes were not really larged, less tham three feet in lmgth. When you are in the open ocean they might as well have been Bruce.

    (Bruce was the nickname of the mechanical shark in Jaws)

    The third was a boar when i was stationed in germany. Again the magnificantion effect, ibet the beasty was maybe 50 pounds. When you are stumbling throught the forest at night with mo lights and a thing about the size of a coffee table starts miving around and making noise…
