Romney amazed by new-fangled electronic checkout girl

I understand that Romney wants to get one of these for his butler, Jeeves.

But the former venture capitalist, whose net worth is estimated at about $250 million, still struggles to connect to everyday people.

Romney's comment on Saturday in Cornwall, where he marveled at the touch-screen technology used to order a meatball sandwich at a convenience store, had echoes of former President George H.W. Bush learning about supermarket scanners - a gaffe from his 1992 campaign.

"You press a little touch tone key pad … You touch this, touch this, touch this, go pay the cashier, and there's your sandwich," Romney said. "It's amazing!"

I understand that on seeing a vintage Princess phone this week, Romney said: "You touch this, touch this, touch this, touch this, touch this, touch this, and touch this and there's your phone call. It's amazing!"
