— Cameron Neuman, retail liquor, Lawrence

“No. It seems kind of impersonal. The one-on-one service you get can’t be beat. The smiles and the remarks, the best wishes, they can’t be made with a fingerprint.”

— Natalie Frese, first-grade teacher, Tonganoxie

“If it happened, I guess. It’s just another way to pay. It’d probably be bad for my bank account. If I have my checkbook, I tend to spend more.”

— Courtney Edmonds, McLouth High School senior, McLouth
