1. There has been an increase in actual human checkouts at the local WalMart and decrease in self-check stations, so apparently customers have made their voices heard…

   • In my view, Jerry, we need to be creating more jobs instead of trying to replace them with machines.

2. I have been saying for years that we are NOT going to go for this! We are not going for this digital currency nonsense! Cash will ALWAYS be KING! We are NOT going for scans, facial recognition technology and the rest of that mess! I do NOT have a so-called, “Real ID.” I refuse to board a plane. I have never used a self-check-out, and I never will. I still read books, and the sad fact is, I just read an article that states that this world is in trouble because students who are trying to get into college, cannot read and school children don’t even know how to write, and definitely cannot write in cursive, which means they can’t even write their own name on an application. I been saying how bad it is in these no-account “schools” over here.

   A third of kids can’t use books when starting school. They “swipe them like smartphones”

   Data from over 2,000 participants (teachers and parents) suggests we are facing a “readiness” recession. A whopping 37% of children starting school in the UK in 2025 (aged 4 to 5) are missing the fundamental requirements. And we’re not talking about their ABCs. We’re talking about children who can’t use a toilet, sit still for five minutes, or even know how a book works.

   According to the survey, teachers report that 26% of children are starting school without being toilet trained, 32% become “overly upset” when separated from parents, and 44% are unable to sit still for the duration of the lesson.

   Staff also reported that 28% of pupils were not able to use books correctly. For instance, they’d try to swipe or tap pages like a phone or tablet.

   And check this out!

   Gen Z students are entering college unable to read full sentences, professors fear for the ‘future’ of the graduates

   College professors are sounding the alarm about an unexpected crisis in higher education. Students are arriving on campus unable to complete basic reading assignments that were once standard expectations. The shift has forced educators to fundamentally rethink how they teach, sparking debates about academic standards and student preparation.

   The numbers tell a stark story. Nearly half of all Americans didn’t read a single book in 2025, representing a 40% decline over the past decade. Gen Z lags behind every other generation despite the popularity of BookTok. Americans aged 18 to 29 read just 5.8 books annually, according to YouGov data.

   “It’s an inability to read sentences.” Her experience reflects a troubling pattern emerging across American colleges as traditional literacy skills appear to be eroding among incoming students.

   And this from your article, I definitely don’t believe!

   “All customer data associated with Amazon One will be securely deleted after the service ends.”

   That information is being stored and used and will continue to be used even after this mess is no longer in those stores.

4. Yesterday I refused to have my driver’s license (the back) scanned at a smoke shop – I asked him why – he didn’t have any answer. I said surveillance, and walked out.

5. Good for you, Trace. People also need to stop signing up for loyalty cards.
