Conscience Store | |||||||||||||||||
When I saw that the the managers of the cafeteria in my school had difficulties in finding volunteers to help customers to check out, I was thinking of "conscience store". In conscience store, customers look at the price in the menu and check out by themselves. There is no one except customers there! If the cafeteria is usually crowded, I think it will help customers to keep their conscience in some sense. In addition, it is more probable to succeed if most customers belong to the same community and entering the facility where the store is located is kind of exclusive to others.

With the old Horne and Hardart automats, you didn't get the food until you put money into a machine.
Home Depot has got half of this down now. Customers go to a station with four check-out bar code readers and scan their stuff, then pay by credit card. There is a clerk watching over all four stations to make sure no one sneaks anything by.
The only problem is that all four stations use the same speaker's voice, so one doesn't know who is being addressed when an instruction to re-scan an item is given.
