Where are these, so I can never see them in person

Walgreens has them installed in 700 stores because a previous ceo signed a deal with a company that provided them.

The CEO of the company providing them? Was also a previous, different CEO of Walgreens. Sure looks like a buddy did another buddies startup a favor, likely for a kickback.

The current Walgreens CEO canceled them, and is being sued for it.

Its walgreens CEOs all the way down.

sounds about right, no one actually thinks this is a good idea, at least not after seeing one of them installed.

it's just money laundering or whatever the technically correct term is

One of my local markets (a Kroger brand) has these. They're even more unpleasant in person.
