Rather than wandering the aisles of the supermarket, patrons control a ceiling-suspended claw that delivers the food directly to their cart.

Toupees immediately discovered. |

Yeah, but the the one wheel is always squeeky and the other simply doesn't turn. |

reminds me of that amusement park thing where kids put a quarter in and try to pick up the gumball or prize with the claw, usually to have to have it fall out before it made it to the downshute. i envision a lot of falling grocery items. could be messy. |

mayonnaise jar! - agh! - dropped
it - happens every time... |

Blanket the entire floor of the store in thick custard ... that way if it falls, then its cutioned, and doesn't move anywhere ... then pass it through a waterfall, or sprayer to clean the custard off your product. |

Just wanted to attempt yet another use for custard |

[Lets] Perhaps instead of a waterfall, there could be stockboys in kayaks, or canoes, with big fishnets. Even better, big fishing trawler type deals. No need for life-jackets I supopose. Would it still cost a quarter or (insert foreign claw game equivalant here) per shot with the claw? If it was equally difficult, the store might still turn a profit. |
