also the discussion was about why someone couldn't find self checkout machines in florida and I suggested it was all the old people. we also don't have very many self checkouts here for the same reason. I wish we did have more of them tho because they are the best

theyre terrible. it took me 8 minutes to check out a loving hand basket of groceries the other day because the machine lost its loving mind at the notion that somebody would want to buy a dozen donuts at 6:30 in the morning so i stood there like a pissed off old dude while a person that otherwise would have been my cashier repeatedly pawed at a hand scanner to cancel the AN ATTENDANT WILL BE WITH YOU SHORTLY klaxon

im the UI team that doesnt weight the relative popularity of sodas and hence streamline the distribution process by sizing the icons larger for more popular sodas, basic UI element concepts that should have been made possible by this, but no, if you see, its a touchscreen that is literally nothing more than a replacement for some stupid bullshit buttons. you could replace the coke freestyle display with sixteen SPST pushbutton switches from sparkfun and some stickers

if my ip address could suggest what my region was somehow, it might be possible to show me a menu with the places where i'm likely to be near the top of the list

that would be a nifty feature

soda is bad for you and you shouldn't drink it more than once in a while

if anything they are doing you a favor with the bad ui

yes i know you could instead just take a bottle out of the cold drinks section but fountain is better
