The law of unintended consequences, that is. It seems that, as the Mega Lo Marts introduce auto-scanning checkout kiosks to feed customers through more "efficiently," people are buying fewer of those impulsive point-of-purchase items.
OTOH, growing up in the South, I did know people who actually went to the store just to buy Slim Jims and the Enquirer, so not all of those sales are unintentional.
