an accurate description, respectively, of me, and most people I have seen in the Houston-Metro area who gave it a whirl: family included. personally, I've made it an art to scan items as quickly as possible, and as cleanly as possible. unfortunately it seems the people among whom I'm "vacationing", have made it as much an art to waste 10-15 minutes of my life screwing up the scanning of a frozen vegetable bag. or messing up the payment process (my mom does that every time).

If you are wondering why I don't interfere, it is simply because my mom just doesn't appreciate it.
