"Just Walk Out" stores.............the future of shopping?

[LibertyWeeps]

Running off my other post about Aldi and self check outs.............................

This one is about even more future idealized tech. Shop n Leave. Or, as they call it "Just Walk Out".



You need an account with the company. You can get a scan card or you can just use the scan code on your phone to enter and leave. This is how it charges you.


The video isn't that long, and it is very interesting.

Would you use a store like this?

HAVE you used a store like this?

Nope. I still believe cash is king and I don't like how every tom, dick and harry that has a business believes they should have your financial information with accompanying rights to access your bank account. Again an emphatic NO. BTW, as an afterthought, how many cashiers are going to be out of a job as a result of this?

Cash is king, no computer-linked BS for buying groceries.
To datamine ya and track everything you do. Fawk that.
Cash is freedom, cards are slavery. Listen to what I say. I'm not kidding.

No. They have been tried before and failed.

So "we the people" want workers in skut jobs to make a "living wage," dammit, and we don't care what it costs!

But that's not really true. When prices go up, we are, let's say, reluctant to spend as much money, so merchants and those that feed us MUST replace some humans with machines, so their prices don't get to a point where their customers just say, "**** it."

Unless I need a human clerk, I go right to the self-checkout lines. I don't resent it in the least because it helps to control prices.

Checkers can become inventory sorters.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Amazon stores have been doing this for years

Checkers can become inventory sorters.

What happens to the folks that already perform these duties?

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

We already have walk outs

50% theft, yeah that shrink will put you out of business, might as well

They'll need more for a store like this. There is categorizing, weighing, etc. Might as well just pay cashiers to do it.
