Professional Grocers
I went and picked up a few items at a local grocery store. What I saw at the checkout lines was incredible. Despite having comparable items, one girl was going through customers significantly faster than the others (3 to 1). When it was my turn I put my items on the counter and she took one quick glance and immediately said "$11.97" without scanning any of them, and before I could even pull my wallet out already had 3 pennies ready for my change and said "next please!" There wasn't a receipt, so when I got home I wondered if maybe she just guessed or something. So I looked at the price tags and added them up, and I found that she was correct.
I've never seen anything like it before.
