Amazon's no-line grocery

Well,  this is pretty interesting.   The article was in the USA TODAY supplement.  It's being tested in Seattle with employees only at the moment.

I can certainly see the appeal especially as I stand in line but it is all a bit of a crazy fast paced life.  The weekly market still thrives in France where people are so happy to be there they don't even worry about prices and they get to chat with neighbours.

Stong's in Vancouver still seems to have some of that magic.  The new store opening recently and Carol is thrilled since she shops like the French....walking and more frequent since she is carrying the groceries home.  Her blog post on it:
