The Grocery Store Of My Dreams?

Scott sent me this link to the Web page of a grocery store that could quite possibly be the ideal shopping experience for me.
From the page:

Because self-checkout has a 12-item limit, you will have three minutes. There is no way scanning 12 measly bar codes should take you any longer. Our customers are busy, and have no time for slowpokes. We’ve all had the experience of standing behind the jackass who can’t follow simple instructions. It’s horrible and slows the pace considerably, leading to many overturned shopping carts.
At SADISCO we’ve gone out of our way to educate the customer. After a mere 3 seconds of inactivity, the status screen begins to flash while the speakers boom: SHOPPING AT SADISCO IS A PRIVELIDGE (sic) NOT A RIGHT, BEGIN SCANNING IMMEDIATELY OR FACE PUBLIC SHAMING.
FOUR.
THREE.
TWO.
ONE.
ZERO.
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO FAIL AT BUYING GROCERIES?

If a store like this really existed I would totally shop there.
