    I used to go to a Giant Foods store all the time with one of them retarded things. It would always get in the way. Then when it ran out of electricity they would plug it in over by the cafeteria microwave into the dusty outlet. Things are so stupid. I wouldn't doubt it if it shot our radiation trying to see all your credit card chips. I mean, what else good could it do?

    There's one in my Stop-n-Shop in Brooklyn, NY. It's a creepy thing alright, it's pretty tall also. One time I was in there and it tootled past me making beeping noises. When I was in the dairy section, I saw it stop, turn around and follow some lady down the aisle, probably to study whether she was going to glom something. Someone is definitely manning that thing. I can see it being a nuisance and annoyance but shoplifting is an issue and the "loss prevention specialists" at the front door don't seem to be doing much of anything.
