Dick saw this at CES and thinks it might be one for the Gadget Warehouse one day. It's a touch-screen computer attached to a shopping card to assist your shopping, including automatic checkout. Dick's experience with other automatic checkout, such as at Home Depot, is it doesn't work. Also there is a worry about annoying advertising. Leo has shown this on Call For Help.Piggly Wiggly
