It may be best to also look at the IAUS thread on raging bull, different perspectives than here on SI and more people seem to add to the thread, not necessarily us same posters that have been on this thread for the last 3 years or so. ragingbull.com

I have gone down to the store several times. It is in the
next town. It works flawlessly. A first time customer does
need a little help, if they are a typical boob-tube couch
potatoe with the typical high school education which is a fourth
grade level, to get the hang of it....(ooh, my english teacher would
not be pleased with that sentence!!!)

The store seems to be reasonably busy and is fairly well stocked.
The prices are similar to the big chains but not as good as a local
chain where I normally shop.

It looks to me like the system would be ideal for smaller outlying
communites that could not support a large store. I can see that you
could run the checkout portion with several lanes easily with only one
cashier. You still need the usual stocking people and butcher though.
BTW they have vacuum packed meat and it is of very good quality.
I like it a lot because the packages don't dribble and the meat stays
fresher when not exposed to the air.

The security arrangements are even better than I thought they would
be. There are several cameras around the store and a camera looking
down on each checkout area. If someone were to try and cheat the
act would be recorded.
