I had a customer today, she had two plastic arms. I wondered how I was going to giver her shopping, and how she would pay.

She used her toes to pass me the money, then I had to give her change, back on her foot. Very strange.

Wer have chip and pin now, our ones are detatchable for people in wheel chairs but it would not stretch to the floor.

Her eyes seemed normal, and she seemed quite normal but I wonder how biometrics would treat her - the best effort in designing the chip&pin console failed.
