    Someone's stirring up the Bees Nest about "you" doing the work at Self-checkouts

    Only a fool will work for no pay . I'll never use a self check out unless I get at least 15 to 20 percent off for doing so. The greed of these corporations it totally out of control .

    Yeah I'm old, 74 in a couple months, but I still ride my motorcycle 400 miles up to my camp fully loaded in a day and sleep in a tent .I'll never give up what I love because of age.Everyone I knew who did kicked the bucket real quick when they stopped . You can't stop .
