Scan it yourself

HEB has replaced their express lanes with new "U-Scan" units - basically you do all the scanning, bagging, and paying right from one station (they have folks walking around to help you if you need ice or something). It's kind of cool how everything is weighed to be sure you aren't stealing anything, and it's pretty easy to use (I just used one 20 minutes ago). Right now it's cool because everyone is afraid to try it, so you can bypass long lines, but eventually I'm afraid it will be just like ATMs - I hate being in line behind someone who pushes about one button a minute.
