It's scary to think how bad it would be without technology. Speaking english apparently isn't even a prerequisite for working point of sale now, I can just imagine the fun if they had to do more than swipe a bar code.

I'm just old enough to barely remember "cashier" being a skilled position. A good grocier cashier could really have those fingers flying on an old manual cash register....almost a rhythm to it. Grab, read, punch, ring, bag....next...and go thru a full week's worth of groceries in not much more time than they do with bar codes today.

I remember it too, HP. Using those little label makers to stick the price tag on each item before stocking the shelves, and the cashier who could ring it all up without a scanner... often without even looking at the price because they already knew it off the top of their head.

And now, they'll scan that sucker 20-30 times before they give up and try to key in the code. Next generation of self check out stuff likely renders the cashier a thing of the past for the most part. No scan, your cart of the P.O.S system knows what is in it or on it.

I've seen demos, pretty impressive. Price on technology just has to drop enough to make it cheaper than what it costs to pay a bunch of cashiers and you'll start seeing them.
