What I really don't like, and probably the most effective antidote to my shopping there in the nearby little city, is that they are taking out the cashiers and replacing them with "check yourself out" stations. I know these are more prevalent in bigger, more urban areas but I can't stand them, or what they represent. And of course at the airport in the big city, not only do we have to check ourselves in, but soon we'll be loading our own luggage on the plane (so the airline can then lose it for us). I think I'll just stay put on the farm and stop shopping :). Well, except for books! I wish I didn’t know that Wal-Mart but I do, sigh.
