#91 I Miss Unloading My Groceries On To One Of These

Grocery checkout counter with old-style cash register, canned drinks, packaged sausages, and fresh vegetables visible.

I swear these conveyors were better for actually getting stuff out of your cart. The round conveyor and the grocery cart formed this little corner that provided better access to the groceries in your cart.
With a standard conveyor belt I feel like I’m always having to lean/reach over the handlebars/child seat and it makes picking things up more difficult. I can’t even reach the things at the front of the cart leaning over like that.
