Yes,exactly a million dollar thing so they don't have to pay any real people to be in the store. 1) security cam 2) self check out 3) smart cart 4) fire all workers 5) all done

It means they can increase profits, the idea of buying spaghetti and the cart telling you about sauces and what to buy so you continue to shop. What I would like is something like Flipp on the cart so you could price match in the cart...that would be something

In the Netherlands we already have that for a long time, but simplified, you can just grab a self scanner at the entrance of the shop (you can also choose to do it just the old way), that’s not attached to the shopping cart, and you then scan your own products, and at the end, you go to the special cash deck for the “self scanners”, and they scan your QR code or so on your self scanner and then they can scan your products in one scan...

@@SnapszDuhh Tap is an option that can be disabled by consumers; it's a personal choice. Majority of consumers see it as a benefit, and unless you can provide statistical numbers of frauds from tap compared to prior to tap option, I see it as no excuse to not have it.
The ISSUE with carts like this...is many of us who don't drive....come in with bags from elsewhere, coats, scarves etc. We put our bags in the cart....take our coats off, put them in there...our purses. The weight/scale thing would then be pointless. You need to go back to the drawing board. Its ridiculous.
Well for one , personal belongings such as purses or articles of clothing don't belong in a store shopping cart and any merchandise from other stores shouldn't be put in the cart where people's food goes all merchandise from other stores should be either taken home before going grocery shopping or bought afterwards at a later time. Personal belongings cause a health risk due to germs or unwanted pest insects hitching a ride on your clothes.

@CanadianAsianDude Since when do minimum wage workers get insurance benefits? I never got insurance benefits even at $14.00/hr except for employment insurance which everyone has. No other type of insurance if that's what you mean.
I will take time off work and bring back all the carts from 6 blocks away and return them for a handsome fee to the grocery store time again. I would like to see how they hold up to -40 AB weather
In the UK, we have something like this, but it works better than this idea. You carry a scanner with you and you can scan your items as you go, and then all you have to do is put it back and scan your card when you’re done. And the produce weighing machines have barcodes you can also scan. Eliminates the idea of an unsanitary cart or carts having to be cleaned, a lot cheaper, and it doesn’t cost anyone their job because there are actually staff assigned to help you pay when you’re finished. This is basically a more expensive version of it and seems really pointless tbh.
the same issue with self check out, a store near me removed them because people were putting expensive produce (like in that case organic cherries) in as bananas (which are dirt cheap) 5lb bananasa is only about $2 where as 5lb organic cherries are about $25 The weight thing doesn’t work
@Winter Solstice I think it's odd. Will they do the same to the carts for people that are disabled? Maybe it's just a pilot project but mostly mom's do the grocery shoppings. 🤷🤔
Don't know about America but here in England trollys (or carts) get robbed and pushed down the road with kids and their mates in, so your gonna have to make some smart way to keep these from being the new high tech go kart for us down in England.
"Are you going to lay off some employees", Answer "This is freeing up some people to engage with customers". Way to dodge a question, but yes this will eventually lay off the majority of their cashiers.
If Nothing ELSE. I feel like carts should have aisle trackers for items we are searching for @each particular store( or maybe create an app for this) That way cashiers can keep their jobs, and we consumers don't have to annoyingly search for items...we'd have a tracker for the foods we want like we track uber/instacart etc.....🤔
In the Netherlands you've already got something like this. Called self-scan. It's just a hand-held machine so you don't have to walk with such a huge shopping card. And when you're finished shopping? You scan some barcode and pay by card.
Ooh good idea I can’t wait when people will steal the cart itself. Iam a loss prevention guy and I wish this guys knew how bad people behave in the stores
We already have this in the UK. Its called 'scan and shop'. You collect a handheld wireless scanner when you go in (if you want to), then you scan the barcodes and pack the items. You then go and pay at a self checkout.
Meanwhile in Kenya they have a main cashier that is casually sitting down as she scans your items and then she has 3 helpers behind her to bag your stuff and one person to put your stuff in the car .... all for free !!
I thought of this a few years ago but not quite as advanced and high tech. With prices going up and up almost between every week I’m sure it has more shoppers than myself going for groceries with a budget. I’d be happy with a cart that simply scanned what I put into it to know my exact total with taxes and all included before heading to the till. This way instead of skipping wants on the shelves for needs, I could complete my shopping list and know if I’ve gone over, or if I have that little extra at the end to go back and get that expensive pepperoni I thought I would’t have enough for lol.
We have scan and go in the uk where we have a handheld scanner that we walk around the shop with, and then scan a special barcode at the self service checkout so we don’t need to unpack the shopping bags.
Even self check out can be a pain if traffic not aware of what they doing, and so a checker gotta check and fix anything at time. i think most time it minor or just too complex to use at time. i dont think all store use same kinda machine or software anytime, so makes it a pain to use sometimes.
What about *old* *people* they cant do that by themselves that why humans are needed not this machine. Also self check outs so easy in Australia literally swipe em and pay but ig maybe your things different
We have self scan machines here, like in the form of a tick phone you pick up at the entrance and use to scan everything. Then just drop it off and pay at a computer. Not sure why you need to build a whole expensive cart for doing basically the same.
Some stores are turning our phones into scanners so we essentially become our own self check out. Sams Club for example has an app called scan and go. As I shop, I scan the products, swipe right to pay, and head towards the exits where staff scans my proof barcode so I can leave. This saves me 15-30 minutes every week. This cart is basically the same thing. The only difference that I see is higher prices being pushed on consumers so the store can have these fancy carts.
How much does the high tech cart cost & how will that impact the real cost of our groceries? New shelf tags apparently cost close to a million dollars. Those are are already showing up in some stores now. Get ready to pay more at the grocery store.
What about when it rains. Will the screen get messed up. Do u have to pay to use the shopping cart or is it gonna be free. What about paying for bags. But it would be nice if you could type on the computer listing what you wanted and the computer would match what aisle the groceries are on.
Giant already has this but it’s a hand scanner they bring around with them and they go to self check out and scan a bar code and then the people can leave.
This is kind of neat! Um for some reason i like this idea more that that other idea when they replaced all the old checkout lines with computers🤔. I just like the fact its actually stuck right on the cart now lol. Ohh, i made myself alittle sad now by mentioning the those old checkout lines😢. When i was little i always thought it was so neat!, the conveyor belt and all those buttons.

wow even the jobs will be gone not just the line up. They train until the AI can be trusted then bye bye employee we only need the tech.
Walm9in my town got rid of cashiers 3 months ago now it's all self check out
There is no place in this cart for children.
Not very convenient for people with children. Never going to happen.
Then it's not for ya
Honestly this is a good idea for introverts don’t even need to make small talk
THE ROBOTS ARE TAKING OVER
Smart but also bad for low income areas where this will just get ripped off, ruined, broken, or whatever else.
"Sticky fingers" - Haha, notice the front facing camera?
Giant already has this but it’s a hand scanner they bring around with them and they go to self check out and scan a bar code and then the people can leave.
I hate self checkout ! Feel like there making me do there job
This is kind of neat! Um for some reason i like this idea more that that other idea when they replaced all the old checkout lines with computers🤔. I just like the fact its actually stuck right on the cart now lol.
Ohh, i made myself alittle sad now by mentioning the those old checkout lines😢. When i was little i always thought it was so neat!, the conveyor belt and all those buttons.
Cool idea but it will take ppls jobs away and that isn't cool
i know right? and cars take away jobs from bus drivers - people should not be allowed to drive, you make a great point.
@@cbilljones Walmart In my town has no more cashiers they got rid of them to much mo9to pay them
We have those in Asda in the uk but you have to go to a designated checkout place and pay there
This is the future of retail. Nice!
It's the same thing as the self check out.
