germany represents the future of grocery shopping

i'm as confused as you are, but there is a new futuristic prototyped grocery store in germany where you can pick up a can of crisco, wave your mobile in front of a radio wave reader, then pay with your fingerprint (or credit card, cash or debit, but fingerprint seemed more "the grocery store of tomorrow" feeling).

also, randomly, "working" at the store, there's a very lame robot named roger (not the most germanic sounding name) that looks like he belongs on a lame 90's "science is cool" saturday morning show. apparently, he's the equivalent of that 87 year old creepy Wal-Mart greeter.

apparently today, i'm big on quotes.
