Computers On Grocery Carts?!

Boston.com: "What they won't do is tell you how many fat grams or calories are in your cart. The idea is to make it easier for consumers to buy, not induce second thoughts that maybe you should put something back on the shelf..."

Computers are great and all, but this is definitely a technology looking for a user. Hey maybe they could provide stations that you could plug your iPod into and download musak to listen to while you shop!

Consumers revolt. You are going to be paying the more for your groceries so that stores can provide you with another costly technology you didn't ask for. $500/ a unit will seem high when babies start spitting up on the keypads. Go buy stuff at your local (health food) market, and bring your own cloth bags and a handwritten list on paper, and hand your money to the human being making a livelyhood helping you check out.
