Retailers use barcode scanners all the time and they sure have come a long way since my season of working in department stores.

It has been forever since I've worked with one, and the idea of scanning my own purchases at a store just doesn't work for me. I don't want to do it. I don't care how easy it might be, I simply want a live human being to scan my goods and collect my payment. Call me old fashioned, but I don't ever want to see human beings replaced by automation.

We need grills for a variety of different applications. Outdoors, I prefer gas or charcoal. In my home kitchen, I prefer a grill that works with my gas range, but in my catering kitchen I always go with electric grills!

Electric grills are perfect when space is limited and you're working indoors.

I like the way you can control the heat. I also like how the weather can be cold or wet, or 100 plus outside and you can work from the a climate-controlled environment to cook dinner!
