  • I drive an ID.4, and I always feel like I am just a little short on space. My wife has an older Ford Escape hybrid, and it’s just a little bigger, maybe a foot longer, and it holds things like Christmas trees, bed frames, etc, better with the seats down than I do. And the number of times I’ve felt like I was just a few inches too narrow to really pack the car with totes for camping, etc, is frustrating.

    I’ve always had an SUV. I dont think I would function in my everyday life the way I do now with a smaller vehicle. I fill the back seat with the seats down full of packages pretty regularly. I love the car but different strokes for different folks.
















  • This really is it. I managed a grocery store for years, and the problem these companies have is thinking that the self checkout can replace too many cashiers. Note that it can take the place of 1 or 2, but really, the boon of the self checkout is to really function as the best express lane ever. It should take the heat off your normal cashiers and provide an option best suited for quick purchases under 10 items.

    But what ends up happening is schedulers drop their usual front end down from 4 cashiers to 1 and a self checkout host and completely nullify any gains their customers would have gotten from the enhanced service options. People really do like self checkouts but resent the hell out of being forced to use them as a blatant cash grab.
