Sounds to me like the 'kiosks' were being used for something other than their original intent. From the article, is sounds like the kiosks original intent was to replace the checkout lanes. From that, Dan, you're question is a good one. Has anyone used them and for what? The eweek article doesn’t make me feel any better about Best Buy:
“…the mirror designs were solely the result of cheapness, not trickiness.”
