Sci Fi Grocery Shopping

I've kind of been slacking in my updates, but I wanted to throw out a quick comment about my recent trip to Sunflower Market, a certified organic grocery chain found in the Midwest. Not only is this store nutritionally in tune with it's customers, it's technologically in tune with them as well. Perhaps I don't get out much, but this is the first store I've seen that lets customers pay with their thumbprints. You sign up for an account with the store and it directly links your thumbprint to your checking account. Forget your pocketbook at home? Not a big deal at Sunflower.

I'd like to hear others' comments on this topic as well. Do you think it's creepy? Cool? Smart? Let me know.
