By us, the Ralph's is the ghetto option. The nice shiney Albertson's across the street is much better. But then there's the Stabertson's a little further away where the mentally challenged employee went nuts with a kitana and killed another employee. We don't go there.
The self checkout at our Albertsons has an illustrated touch-screen menu of produce to select from. Originally, the Ralph's did not. The first time I tried it, I put some potatoes on the scanner/scale, and before I did anything it said, "Potatoes, red, 99 cents." I stared rather stunned that this thing managed to ID my potatoes automatically. Until I turned and saw an attendant at the control console grinning.
