    The only drawback is that you can't use the app at a self-
    checkout line unless
    you have a hand scanner. The scanners built into the
    registers can't read the
    barcode right off of a phone screen. But generally I don't mind going
    to a regular checkout line. Yes, I am one of those who likes to use
    the self-checkout lane.

    I try to avoid the self checkout lanes if at all feasible. IMO, they
    are putting people out of work who need the jobs.

    Title: Shola (Rice With Beef, And Carrot)
    Categories: Main dish
    Yield: 1 Servings

    3 tb Corn oil
    1 lg (1 cup) onion, chopped
    3/4 lb Boneless beef chuck, cut
    -into 1/2-in cubes
    4 c Water
    1 ts Salt, or to taste
    1/2 c Carrot, cut into 1/4-in
    -cubes
    2 c Raw rice, well rinsed

    The shola is an everyday dish that emphasizes the natural flavors of
    meat, onion, and carrot. The lack of pungent spices is a
    characteristic of Bukharan cooking.

    1. In a pan, heat the oil. Add the onion and beef. Stir-fry over
    moderate heat for 10 minutes. Cover the pan during half of the
    cooking time.

    2. Add the water, salt, carrot, and rice. Bring to a boil. Reduce
    the heat to very low and stir the mixture for a moment. Cover the
    pan and cook for 40 minutes, which should be enough to tenderize the
    beef and evaporate some of the liquid.

    Serve warm with bread. Makes 6 servings.

    Hello Dale,

    It's the march of technology. Even in IT, I am an endangered species by the very technology that I helped to develop. There will always be a need for a human to monitor the self-checkouts as anything designed by a human will have flaws. Also, at the time of night that I like to shop, there's usually one of two things: a single cashier for the entire store or several self-checkout lanes open with a single cashier. I don't mind checking out alone; I'm usually much faster than a cashier.

    As for the jobs, there will always be jobs where humans are needed. Technology has replaced a lot of jobs once done by a human but there's some things where a computer just can't cut it. For now, at least.

    I can understand where you're coming from though. Automation can be rather cold and impersonal.

    Since I am responding via remote...
