	Something funny happened while I was out consuming last
	weekend.  When I bought some stuff at a "Jamesway" store
	in Saratoga Springs, NY the cashier asked me what my zipcode
	was and entered it into the register.  Looks like they
	want to know where their customers come from so they
	know where to send sales flyers....  Any other guesses?
