The Woolies (Woolworths) supermarkets here in Oz (South African, not
USAian, IIRC) were running half the self-checkouts and only a couple of
peopled ones - but they don't have many people on anything except 
shelf-stacking these days.

Nice to see that some of my teaching from decades ago stuck - but more 
likely it was just dumb luck they didn't update all of the systems.
