Ever use one of these?

I remember these. The cashier had to push buttons that totaled the price of a grocery item, then pull that lever on the right (push the sale button on later versions), FOR EACH AND EVERY ITEM. The customer and cashier could have a ten minute discussion during checkout. If memory serves, the cashier also had to push a button for taxable items, so that sales tax could be added to the total bill.

I never used one, 'cept a toy one. I have used today's version at self checkout:

What a world of difference bar codes have made.
