Stores should just be giant vending machines at this point. Cuts back on retail theft and staffing stores with humans.
We’re already buying stuff from Amazon and going with what’s shown on a screen. Why can’t we be like the replicators in Star Trek, stand in front of a screen, pick what we want, and it magically be placed in front of us?
I live in SF and have a feeling vending machine type stores are a solution to the rampant theft in retail here.
