Cabless tractors aren't in use yet? Seems a no brainer to me. I was in line at the post office the other day and someone waited in line to buy stamps. When they got to the counter the postal employee shrugged in annoyance and let him know that he could buy his stamps in the lobby from the machine. I found it ironic that the postal employee was annoyed that they had to sell them stamps manually, the more he directs people to that machine the more likely he is to lose his job.

Edit: Can you use these types of technologies and still call yourself an organic farm? purelindsay what say you?

It's good for him to direct people to that machine, though. He lengthened the queue you were waiting in, and waited when he didn't need to.

I don't disagree but it was the way he directed them, with such contempt.

Yes, there's no excuse for bad manners, especially if it's your job.
