Are you trying to use this Building Blocks stuff for store purchasing and that flow?

TL;DRYes, store purchasing is being converted to Building Blocks, starting with the prison deposit kiosk, with one or two screens planned per quarter as part of a company-wide effort.

Someone in chat just mentioned if we were trying to use this Building Blocks stuff for store purchasing and that flow, which is exactly what I'm working on right now. And that's part of a long process of converting all of our screens that has just started, actually. So the prison deposit kiosk is the first shopping kiosk that is using Building Blocks totally. And we're going to be iteratively doing a couple every quarter, one or two a quarter. Like, all right, now this screen is using it, now this screen is using it, and getting down the process. Each one's getting a little quicker. But it's part of a long sort of vision of updating our shopping experience.

And it's a company-wide goal as well. I know they're working on stuff with the ships, and mobiGlas is going to get a treatment relatively soon. Those are other teams, of course, but yeah, it's a huge initiative for us to kind of convert this over. And once it's there, even if we may not redesign the experience right away, it sets us up to be able to rapidly iterate on it in the future. And that's the great part of it.
