[Magdalen] I hate Wal-Mart

[Lynn Ronkainen]

I sometimes wonder if they think the more bags the stores give us, the 
better deal we think we got...

Lynn, who uses self check at 'my Kroger' often, and has noticed that it has 
become so fine tuned that people who 'cheat' are now being caught... yep... 
a lot of cheaters seem to use self check - subbing fruit/veggie codes that 
are cheap for the food they're buying that is more expensive.  When I first 
saw self weigh and self check in Scotland in '93 I thought that this would 
never make it in the US because people would find it hard to be honest.

When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I have not a 
single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."

ladder of success only to find, once they reach the top, that the ladder is 
leaning against the wrong wall.”
