Futuristic Supermarket Shopping Carts: Skynet carried our groceries.

[Darthphere]

So this is a spin-off of the "No Cellphones" thread in which the topic of technology heavy shopping carts began. Does your supermarket have those new fangled shopping carts with the proximity lock on the wheels or as someone mentioned a "magnetic travelator" whatever that is. Are shopping carts getting to advanced or are we falling behind?

I only know of this one Publix around here that if the shopping carts are taken "beyond the yellow line" outside the parking lot, they lock.

At a grocery store in a town near me you insert a quarter to get a cart ,and when you return it you get your quarter back.

 

[Matt Murdock]

Haven't a clue what any of you are talking about.

 

[Majic Walrus]

I don't know what you're talking about. I assume this is to prevent shopping carts from being stolen... but then what would hobos put their cans in?

 

[Darthphere]

Baby carriages.

 

[Erzengel]

Darthphere what future city do you live in and most importantly do they have Pleasure-Bots there?

 

[Darthphere]

Only male ones right now. Ironically enough, they have vaginas as well.

I have been to supermarkets that have both of these things.

Well I guess that's not technically gay.

Yeah only they call them anuses for some reason.

Those aren't vaginas.

 

[Darthphere]

You sure, they are pretty tight.

My local Tesco (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesco) has the magnetic travelator thing so your shopping cart doesn't fall over and you can travel to the different floors/departments.

Also Sainsburys another supermarket has the self checkouts where do the code scanning yourself and then pay the machine.

The most advanced supermarket I've ever seen is this german one http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7476672.stm

That sounds like something out of Futurama or The Jetsons

 

[Eric Brooks]

I hope my grocery store gets these carts so I can steal them.

 

[Immortalfire]

The ones here have no technology more advanced than the wheel

 

[Darthphere]

So disappointing.

 

[Immortalfire]

I know, right?
