Aldi follows Tesco and opens supermarket where shoppers can't pay with cash or card
Shoppers will be able to leave with their items without putting them through the checkout
How can this feasibly work? What if you picked up a short dated item with a discount or items priced by weight?

Don't think they answer your questions, but more info on technology in these 2 vids
Re: Shopping
I can see it working for simple smaller shops like those. I prefer the second example where you confirm what you've 'bought'.
Re: Shopping
They've been doing this in the US for a while - it's clever tech - I'm sure they've overcome those simple issues.

Put on your MASK, the cameras won't RECOGNISE you and you get FREE stuff!
Re: Shopping
How would you suggest getting around items that you bag like fruit, veg or cakes etc? There needs to be a count / weight on each and a camera isn't in my mind able to weigh things
Where this is not an option in a shop then great its another step away from dehumanising a shopping experience

Re: Shopping
They track the masks. Didn’t you know ? That’s why the masks are mandatory now, so THEY can control us.

Everyone who had had a vaccine will transmit their shopping data to BillG whenever they enter a 5G area. They are just ironing out the final bugs - if you have an apple your bank account is currently charged for an iPad mini.

We've had these in London for a while now I've visited the Amazon store in Kentish Town, where you scan your Amazon app on the way in, then pick up whatever groceries you want and walk out. We even tried to confuse it by picking up different bread rolls and then putting them back etc.
It worked perfectly and also felt totally illegal to grab things off shelves and walk straight out the door last time I did that was back in my partying days
In other food-retail news, Getir, the new grocery delivery app delivered ice cream to my front door in 7 minutes from ordering last night. They don't even charge delivery. I get the feeling that food retail is gonna change a lot in the next 5-10 years.

Getir is dangerous.. less than 10 mins to get alcohol delivered is awesome but also, not so..

Really dangerous, especially because there's none of the big mark-up like you get on Uber Eats groceries, it makes it way more accessible for regular use.
