I hope she steered well clear of the really tall canned goods displays....

Observed today at the store: a woman doing her shopping, and as she did so, she ticked off the items on her shopping list -- which was displayed on the top window of the screen of the laptop computer she had balanced atop the child seat. Wow. Some people really fetishize this whole "paperless life" thing, eh?

(My first thought was that she was some kind of vendor or management person doing something related to pricing or inventory, but no dice -- I saw her in the checkout lane, and again a minute later while I was sweeping outside.)
