[Publib] Self Check out promotion

[Fred Beisser]

Or, maybe the patrons just like to have some interface with real people 
to rack up a piece of their socialization quota for the day that most 
folks need. I, for one, work from a home office so when I have a choice 
between self check-out at the super market (our small library does not 
yet use RFID and self check-out) and interfacing with a real person for 
even a short conversation, I go for the social aspect.
