Shoppers can transmit an order, charge it to their credit card, and have delivery arranged -- all without a word to anyone at the store...
Tired of standing in line at the supermarket, gazing at the ceiling or thumbing through magazines? Then check out CNN's Checkout Channel, introduced last week for shoppers who must wait to be served. Available in 150 stores throughout the U.S., including A&P, Kroger and Acme, the channel placates the impatient with news capsules and short features.
