I think our country's demographics are to diverse to completeley do away with some of those items. Rural areas will aleays need phones and postal service.
see me at Mason Dixon Gas, Spring Carlisle M114-115, and Hershey C4E-35.

I'm going into the business of "portable" phone booths. What do ya'll think? Any investors out there? Mike Mike, I prefer the Fullsize working units.

I said " no it's my house" she said " oh,well,with the phone booth and the gas pumps(visibles mind you) she thought it was the store,and wanted to buy some more beer! I told her it was across the street!lol

I crossed over into a new technology yesterday. I deposited a check in my bank by using my smart phone and an app from the bank. Just took a pic of each side of the check, typed in the amount and clicked to submit. Got an email a little later to say it has been processed and is in my account. With direct deposit and paying bills by computer, I have eliminated 90% of my trips to the bank and post office. Hardly use any stamps or checks like the old days.
Many stores and businesses scan checks for deposit and don't actually send the checks to the bank.

No more checkout cashiers either. Go to Home Depot or Walmart and its all self checkout, which are a nuisance. Makes me want to just throw the stuff on the floor and walk out.

Alot of places around here will not even take a check anymore. I dont see checks going away anytime soon, I get them from insurance companies pretty much every day for collision work.
But than again, who knows. There are many things in the future that will happen that I wish I could know now.
FREEDOM oil items wanted.

To save money on employee benefits, they are forcing us to use self checkout. BUT it has been proven that there more theft of products which results in raising prices. There is no discount given for using self checkout so Save an employees job & use a Checker. Just a matter of time till Florida & NYC will be DIKED in like New Ar-lenes!
