the japanese style of check out at the grocery store makes a lot of sense. you bring your hand basket (i've yet to see a giant grocery cart) to the cashier stand. there's just enough room for 2 baskets usually. the cashier unloads your basket, item by item, rings each up - telling the price out loud- and reloads an empty basket. you pay, putting your money on a tray so the change is easily counted, and the newly packed basket is given to you with a few bags on top. you then take the basket to a counter just past the cashiers and pack up the groceries out of the way. your original basket is meanwhile being used to repack someone else's...genius. if it's busy there are 2 cashiers, one to ring it in and the other to take yr money while the first starts ringing up the next in line.
see, you're learning so much by me being here...

(It's been insane lately - every time there's another snowstorm predicted, which is like every other freakin day, everyone rushes to the Co op like it's the apocalypse!)
