Hackers' Contest #1: Hack the way people are shopping.

2 pointsby Uglyfruitabout 13 years ago
Hi, I would like to submit a series of short contests so that we can all practice our hacking skills. I do not want to focus on computer hacking at all.<p>The first one is this: Hack the way people are shopping at supermarkets.<p>The subject to be hacked is deliberately specific so that we all might make proposals along the same line.<p>Hope many of you will submit their ideas. You do not need to give the actual solution but , merely suggest some other ways the task could be achieved in a different way. For example: the goods that you need will be delivered to your own fridge every 2 days.<p>Let's see if this thread would be followed. It is quite amusing, isn't it ?

I don't know if this is related but does anybody else think we should be given discounts for using self checkouts? I mean it completely bypasses the checkout chick but were still being charged for that service.
