Hiked up to an ancient castle in the Peloponnese, Greece. It seems like every hilltop has an old castle here.

Nothing under mine. There’s a place where I can input that kind of information, but everything is empty. Maybe this is unique to US America?

Is it possible there are less businesses doing it because many companies have already done it? I know a lot of people aren’t in favour of self-checkouts, but decisions go to where the money and convenience are. We don’t go to tellers or the few gas stations that serve because of convenience. We troubleshot our computers and do our own renovations because hiring workers would be too expensive. If you don’t like self-checkouts, don’t use them. It’s as easy as that.
