I have never seen an intercom or mic/speaker on a gas pump. The only
thing I see is the "help" button on the screen asking how you are going to pay. N. |

Perhaps it doesn't have as thorough market penetration in the UK, since we are IMHO unrivaled as a car culture. Drive-through pharmacy in the US in 1951 (or earlier). There are drive-through funeral homes. Cindy Hamilton |

The "viewing" is more typically conducted in a room in the funeral home, where the body is displayed in the coffin, and mourners can approach and do whatever it is that people get out of it. Emotionally verify that the person is dead (closure), talk to the body, leave mementos in the coffin, etc. The family is on hand to receive condolences. It's almost certainly and offshoot of the wake, although it's now considered undesirable to have a dead body in the parlor. When my mother's cousin died about 30 years ago, she was available for viewing for several days. I can't recall when or where the funeral itself was held, as I didn't attend. When my father-in-law died a couple of months ago, he was available for viewing for a couple of hours in a side chapel at the church, immediately followed by the funeral Mass in the sanctuary. My family doesn't have anything, really, in the way of funerary rites. Both my grandfather and grandmother were immediately cremated without any sort of memorial or service. Their ashes reside in some sort of vessels which I believe are housed in my mother's linen closet. When my mother goes, I'll dispose of everybody's ashes simultaneously. Cindy Hamilton |

When disabled myself after a knee op and having to use a walker, I was amazed at how kindly people were to me, holding doors etc and making my passage easier. Perhaps because we supply a lot of the military we do more commonly see badly disabled vets. Anyway, I'm through with all this - have the last word - to me I feel a disadvantaged person deserves consideration, I'm quite happy to go the extra to make sure they can be as independent as possible. I am heartily glad NS is more kindly than Ontario, figures! |

They have braille on all ATMs, it would be expensive to vary that for drive thru ones. We have just replaced the two elevators in our condo building. The elevator beeps as it goes past each floor and there is now braille on the button pad inside. |

Cindy Hamilton ------------------ Thanks. When I was a child the departed were always displayed in their coffins in the families front room. The room was full of flowers and I remember as a very small child being taken in to see my Grandfather. I saw many relatives like that as I was growing up. I don't hear of that now. All the ones I know about are in a special room at the undertakers for viewing. -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

Most pharmacies are attended mainly by clerks, there's only one or maybe two pharmacists per shift. When I phone my mail order pharmacy (OptumRx) I get a clerk, if need be they can switch me over to an actual pharmacist. The clerks are working from home. It's a huge Rx operation (the one for AARP) but there are very few pharmacists on duty each shift that will come to the phone. Nowadays pharmacies are all automated, pills are counted and dispensed by machine, the machine chooses which size bottle and prints and affixes the label. There are very few compounding pharmacies anymore. Most meds today are pre packaged in a 10 or 30 day supply, or whatever quantity doctors typically write for, there's no counting required. |
