| Grocer puts new way to pay at shoppers' fingertips by Jeremy at 6:37 am EDT, May 2, 2002 | |||
Shoppers at West Seattle Thriftway yesterday were eager to be among the first in the nation to "pay-by-touch" for their groceries, using their fingerprints instead of plastic cards or cash. Customer: "It is a hassle to have to pull out your cards. This will be much more convenient." Cashier: "It has been entertaining." Another customer: "It is just a way to make my life a little easier. I support new technology." Yet another: "I figure they must have perfected it or they wouldn't be doing it." Biometrics vendor: "It is much safer than a card, which can be lost or stolen." "HAL" the cash register asks: Is that a wallet in your pocket, or are you just afraid to touch me? Technology Supporter asks: "Did you know that humans and dinosaurs once roamed the prairie together?" | |||
