(oo)
I think the "law" requiring customers to push the button on the 
cash register is really just a function of the cashier's age.
If the cashier is under 21, s/he cannot process a transaction
involving alcoholic beverages; therefore, the customer pushes the
putton, since s/he is the nearest person of age available.  I've
had to do this a couple of times myself, but not in Chicago, in
Champaign.  Having bought beer, etc. in both places without having
to ring up the sale, I have drawn this conclusion.
