Well I was finally able to walk to church this past Sunday as the temperatures hit 5C (41F). Afterwards I met up with my friend S, it had been a month since our last meetup. It was nice to get back to the routine. The pathways were plowed for the most part, except when I cut through one park, it got a bit treacherous in spots.
At the drug store I noticed they had put in those automatic kiosks for self checkout. It made me sorry for the regular cashiers, they must feel threatened for their jobs. S says she is quite happy to use the kiosks if there is a lineup. So much for human interaction.

Sorry it was so cold. Love the cardinal. I'm not a friend of automated cash outs either. Hugs, Valerie
Blessings.
Very nice cardinal. Yes, human interaction is important. For that reason, I value my husband.
Such a pretty cardinal! We are still dealing with some freezing drizzle. Tomorrow should be better.
Nice art
I don't do the check out thingys...I don't want to be the reason folks lose a job plus I look at it this way, I pay enough, they can pay someone to check me out.
Another pretty ACEO Christine.
I'm with you...stop taking jobs away from humans. If there are no salaries then there will be no shopping!
Great painting! I use those check-out points a lot.
glad u were able to get out - I've only had 2 to 3 days where our road is so icy we don't want to drive down it which isn't the problem only coming back up hill is. But today it might get enough sun so we can get out. Can't imagine dealing with being stuck in the house for very long. You gave me something to think about with the kiosks that i just never gave thought to before - the people who have been replaced.
and cute cardinal - wish we had them here.
Love your sweet cardinal, Christine!
I stay away from kiosks for just that reason...
Hi Christine beautiful painting,yes it's a bit sad that we aren't being served more people out of work,I have been without the internet. It's good to have it back now,lol xx
I'm not a fan of automated kiosks, but it seems like every store that puts them in reduces the open staffed lanes. There are such long lines to check out with a real person that I end up doing it myself.
I cannot stand them. I'm happy to contribute to the economy and pay for packers and cashiers. My kids did that to get through Uni!
It is also getting usual in Turkey also. We are starting to use those kiosks.
Love your cardinal.
I don't like self-serve automatic check-outs.
All the best Jan
How lovely Christine, I see a lot of these in our garden. Always a welcome visitor. Also, thank you so much for the recipe link for the pancakes. I am going to check that out right now. Sorry I am so late answering that comment but I am just starting to catch up on reading my comments. I could do with some pancakes right now :)
self checkouts are great. i can scan things faster and don't have to deal with small talk and the bonus of not getting coughed on by the checkout people helps. I want to pay for my things and get out as fast as possible
nice bright red cardinal :)
I avoid the self-check out, but my husband doesn't mind using them which is surprising because as far as technology goes, he's usually the one who is clueless.
