- My dish installer friend recently sent in a proposal to install
- the Checkout Channel in local grocery stores. The way he explained
- it to me: Turner provides the dishes and pays experienced dish
- installers to install the systems in grocery stores. The service
- is supported by commercial advertisers [my comment: you know those
- people whose ads appear every 10 secs! ;) ]
-
- What a good deal if you can find a grocery store that wants it!
