So my cousin works at a corner store and it can get pretty hectic between the people trying to steal stuff and the number of people trying to be served in such a small period of time.
The biggest thing is probably getting the beer. Like any "legal establishment" it's illegal to sell bear in Connecticut after 9:00 p.m. However, this isn't a Supermarket, but a Corner Store where business literally thrives off the malignant deeds of others. So basically after 9:00 p.m. you can imagine the traffic Corner Stores have and all the other crazy, illegal crap that goes on.
In between all the chaos, brain crack struck me, and I though how great would it be if there was an infrastructure behind a Corner Store. It doesn't even need to stop at a Corner Store, it could be applied to stores everywhere and what not. The idea is basically a computer database that keeps a precise archive of all the supplies in the store, their price, etc etc. The clerk would simply tell the computer what supplies he/she needs and he/she would never have to leave their post or send someone after things that consume time and put the workers and the establishment at risk by law.
The ideas seems nice but I guess it would take away the aesthetic taste of going to the store. Plus I would imagine there would be a be a zero tolerance policy when employees breaks the rule no matter how small the issue might be. I guess it was good while it lasted.
