This Week's Quote: "All the perplexities, confusion, and distress in America arise, not from the defects in their constitution or confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation." —John Quincy Adams

We had the automated checkouts at the WalMart in the town I work in, but they got rid of them. They were great...until they broke down, and they seemed to always be breaking down and taking forever to fix.
We've got Red Box up here in Canada, too. There's one in that same WalMart, and across town outside the Giant Tiger. (Giant Tiger is another department store similar to WalMart, but generally smaller and with poorer value and selection, although there are a few things they have that WalMart doesn't carry, like Balsamic vinegar.)
The Trabant had one really innovative feature: Plastic composite body panels. Of course, it was done that way only because East Germany had no domestic steel production and they were trying to eliminate expensive imports from other Communist Bloc countries. And the actual manufacture of the panels was piss-poor.

We've had them at the local Harris-Teeter for I don't know how many years now, and they've always worked great. Of course, H/T's policy is that if there's even a second person waiting in line they open a new register, so they've got an incentive to keep people using the self-checkout.
