Supermarket's New
Strategy{{/B}} One supermarket in Tokyo has managed to solve the
problems of shoplifting, mistakes by cashiers, and long lines of customers
waiting at the cash registers. It is Japan's advanced computer technology that
has come{{U}} (51) {{/U}}with the answers. Shoppers at
an OK supermarket on the outskirts of the city now push a cart{{U}} (52)
{{/U}}a plastic card chained to it and buy from glass cases where the goods
are on display. The plastic card has a magnetic number imprinted on it. Each
customer carries his or her own card, which is{{U}} (53) {{/U}}at the
exit. While shopping, the customer pushes the card into a slot beside whichever
items are wanted and pushes a button or two. The glass covered vending machines
are connected to a computer that{{U}} (54) {{/U}}the price of every item
in the store. Prices of every purchase are added up automatically.{{U}} (55)
{{/U}}she has finished shopping, the customer hands her card to a cashier
who{{U}} (56) {{/U}}it into the register. A second later the{{U}}
(57) {{/U}}pops out. Shoplifting is physically
impossible. Once you touch a commodity the computer remembers it no matter how
you hide it or{{U}} (58) {{/U}}you eat it on the spot. A
cashier at the OK supermarket is now able to work 15 times faster than her{{U}}
(59) {{/U}}at a conventional supermarket. Only two cashiers,{{U}}
(60) {{/U}}, are required at the store, which{{U}} (61)
{{/U}}2,500 separate items. One man is enough to keep the vending machine
filled, because whenever the stock for a certain commodity is{{U}} (62)

cannot{{U}} (64) {{/U}}his or her mind about a purchase. Once touched,
the item cannot be put back. The customer must{{U}} (65) {{/U}}a cashier
with it first and get a refund later. There are also no fresh vegetables or fish
on sale—everything is prepackaged.
