- Sobeys is pilot-testing a high-tech shopping cart that allows shoppers to skip the checkout line. But as Richard Southern reports, the grocery store chain insists the ‘smart cart’ isn’t intended to replace cashiers.

I can't wait to pay a quarter and bring this cart home with me
lol gps?
why would you bring it home?.....
it will scream HELP
@@NoLeadsEnt I took it home so I can use it again next time 😂
haha
Just another way to eliminate jobs snd make the customers do the work.
blue internet i agree with the jobs thing, but personally I find these types of things much more convenient than long lines.
Right
While manual labor may decrease, there will be an increase in the maintenance of the technology being put in place. Get an education and be part of the growth or seek another sector to work in.
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
You obviously have never worked any retail before
i thought it was going to be a cart that followed you
LITGAMER me too
That would be amazing tbh
hahahaha imagine like 30 carts just bumping into each other trying to follow it's leader
I thought it was going to be a cart that pushed itself 😭😂
Same
notice that he never gave a yes or no, as to whether this will cost someone's job.
Mind you, I'm not saying it's a terribly bad thing if it means fewer jobs, that's the high tech society we live in.
Because it definitely will.
I like to think of it as releasing someone from toil. There are tons of other things we need done in society.
I assume the answer is, yes in the long term, but no in the short term as people are getting used to these.
thats very sad, automation is a job killer. we have to have a universal basic income if we dont want a chaotic society.
Didn’t realize that I worked as a cashier when I grocery shopped
Right, discount should be applied to those who choose to use A.I checkout
I would rather do this than go to an actual cashier. 🤣
It's the same thing as a self check out just saves more time
Seth Boucher quit bitching and do the work
As someone with social anxiety, I love this. I like as little human interaction as possible
Just wait until someone spills their Starbucks on that.
Bahaha that's funny
😂😂😂
Save the turtles
Why would anybody go to starbucks? I'd rather support a small mom and pop coffee joint.
The whole system is waterproof, you just hose it down after lol
The carts in my local supermarket doesnt even have any properly functioning wheels...
Exactly! They could fix those first.
Come on. You know you love making your presence known with an annoying, loud squeak!
Same👍
It's really when the customers bring the cart outside, mess up the wheels a bit, wait for an employee to grab 4-7 at a time, roll them all on the pavement, ram it onto the ramp, then back with all the other carts.
Imagine sitting in the cart and it only worthies you as 2 dollars
Finally, an easier way to sneak candy into my mom’s cart
That's true
If it weighs every thing then might not be so easy if candy is kinda heavy lol.
@@cable30 i dont think it can detect 15-20 gram extra weght in 15 or 20 kg groceries
@@MashZ she will see the candy on the screen 👈🏼
Lol. Sounds like something my kids would do.
“Freeing up some people to engage with customers”
How nicely said wow
That's a leftist. Explanation it's good for you you will like it.
For the positions eliminated will we really see all of those people working in the store helping customers? I don't think so.
Matt Kwiecien He’s a conservative. That is why he denies automation causing lost jobs. He will cut hours and employees because its one less persons benefits and wage to pay for.
Your enemies are the ones manipulating your thoughts
Not the ones who you’ve been told are your enemies....

2019: Smart Cart

Oh my 😂😂😂
Haha Could you imagine " Condoms aisle 7" haha

People won’t have any jobs left at this rate
They will beacause like they need to clean and restock
Good i dont want it
@@katiegaming6414 There are ai robots in the working.
@Wait Whet Some people aren't good at studying, some people have bad grades, think about it, you uneducated dweeb. Riots everywhere. Unemployment rate rises to 60%.
Luan Loud maybe reducing the options of low end jobs would encourage pursuing further study,
at least for those capable. society would benefit greatly off of more STEAM workers.
Does that mean the cost of the food will go down because I have to do their work?
If only
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
Nope, go up to pay for the cost of the cart and extra for their pocket.
Wishful thinking but afraid not because of corporate greed
Okami Jubei We must stand together and say NO to them.
I don’t care what they got. Lowest prices wins my heart
If it was YOUR job on the line, maybe you would care...
Sounds like a dumb way to let people know they are overspending their budget on useless items. I bet they will lose money operating this way.
Jake Woof well they save money having NO cashiers
Gael Sandoval true but overall people will spend less
@@hailstonez not necessarily, with the added convenience shoppers may want to spend more money.
@@tavodupre-lpz6749 less personnel, less jobs, higher theft rate... more negatives than positives. I don't hear anyone complain about the line system that all retail stores have. It would be cool, but really only for the customer
Sobeys is so overpriced and considerably understaffed. I detest this grocery store!
Its a shame the one near me used to be really good way way back now its terrible they took away open 24hrs and the staff might aswell be a bunch of monkeys flinging their feces at eachother.
Stores open 24 hrs is rare now days, cause possible theft and company greed makes them not be open all day and night any. even though now with bring ur own bag there is stil theft lol, they just dont trip about cause u cant always bust everyone.
Man, as a cashier at sobeys I hope I don’t lose my job to this.
We'll start a GoFundMe for ya melody
Bino Muhammad thanks bud
I hope they pay you well.
roxcyn I’m only a student so I’m making student minimum wage which is fine with me! The hours are fantastic though and I love everyone there. I have no complaints! The company is amazing with complying to each of our needs. I really don’t want to lose my job because I love it so much!
@@skyvallone - I hope that is enough for you.
But if u have a kid that’s a toddler we’re are they going to sit and what about a purse😒
Maddie Moo Productions
That’s good one
Maddie Moo Productions then go shopping elsewhere
Luxury Inc where if all the supermarkets implement this style of grocery shopping?
Leave your toddler at home. Lol.
@@LuxuryIncorp you do realize that more WOMEN go shopping than men, right?
It could be more useful if the added indoor GPS to guide you to the item you're looking for.
It does
the chinese are laughing at this "innovation"
SOSA THE BOSS what’s the laughing?
@@emilianas5378 ever heard of chinese "hema grocery" stores? if not, youtube it!
SOSA THE BOSS yeah heard about it. It’s a service delivery grocery to your door step. In Canada , it’s a different story I guess, like myself, I would prefer to head down to Safeway to do it myself. Or have them delivery straight from farm.
SOSA THE BOSS ever heard of amazon store 🏬 Chinese got their idea from them.... Chinese will sit back and wait for someone genius invention then till copy it.
@@theiralltheway5554 completely outdated statement... wake up, the world no longer revolves around the west.
I like the humble, old shopping cart.
Same😂

i dont like humans, so this is great. You also have to watch humans like a hawk or they will miss coupons on items... Just not worth the risk dealing with a human
U lazy

At least i got into the supermarket, as some would online shop while at home, but i want human interaction unlike you, plus these machines cost human jobs. A Little compassionate wouldn’t hurt pal.
@@wadani141 if you want human interaction you must be a desperate type of person that is desperate to be around humans
@@cbilljones I agree with u checking out ur self u can keep track easier
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...
Hahaha inderdaad
I think some of the grocery stores have that in US, too. It's not rolled out everywhere.
And you think this is a good thing. Research is needed
Imagine when homeless people get a hold of this
They see me rolling, they hating 😂
@@Jessica-yh4qm 😂😂😂😂
Makes me think of that commercial of the little pig in the car sticking his head out and saying weeeeeeee lol
A real smart cart will actually follow the customer in the store.
Then when another customer walks by it starts following that one, hehe
“I need an override on cart 9”
We are actually in an era where people are losing jobs bcz of AI.
G HK they’ll still need people to control the AI
The Burg agreed but 100 people can easily be replaced by 1 machine.
And one machine needs to be maintained by hardly 2 or 3 people.
Periodt
Nonameone Unnamed of course I know what AI is, but they need people to control AI and fix it
it will still have wobbly wheels i bet.
plus, no more leaving your cart to get an item.
Where do the little babies sit
home please
Good question! I was thinking the same.
@@shashankdegloorkar if u can be there they can too.
Right in the basket after you have done scanning them
u gotta pay for em, make sure u bring the newborns only
In Ontario, most stores still have ancient cash registers, a very old system. How about we start there?
Dumb Walmart dont even has tap to pay POS
Shashank Degloorkar They don’t have it on purpose. The tap feature increases fraud and Walmart already has to deal with billions of fraud each year.
@@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.
@@SnapszDuhh billions of dollars of fraud each year? Please have a look at their financial statements please.
Cash exchange is still quicker than using a credit card pin pad.
The real test will be how long will it last in the shopping cart corral
Yosemite Sam also if left outside in the cold will it shutdown
Can only guess they be used insideand not go outside cause wheels lock and so u bag ur stuff and leave with just bags any.
tyrone b who wanna carry all the bags .. we gotta bring the cart to the car
Won't this cost someone their job? *Nope. Actually they will all be promoted... to customer!*
Walmart in my town is only self check out
Okay so...for people that take their kids grocery shopping....where do we put them? Where do we put our purse?
🤔
Keishla Peters exactly not too shopper friendly
Up ya arse of course
@@bigbeatyswollocks4859 Ain't big enough 😂
@@Ram-Fighter at least you've got a great sense of humour I like that 👌
@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. 🤷🤔
Anything to get rid of a job

@@CarmenBranje Walmart in my town has no more cashiers just self check out
@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.
That card reader is going to get ripped off all the time.
Amazon: take an item off the shelf, funds out of your bank account
They've had these devices in the UK for about 5 years now. Next
Canada is just filled with stupidity 🙄 that's all. They are not innovative.
Scanners. Been out a lot longer. Safeway's had them, then closed down. And now Sainsbury's and Asda are using them.
Cool .
What happens when they are left outside when it rains when you put the food in your car? Lol
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.
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.
I wonder if the cart wants 15 dollars an hour?
You're doing their job and you still pay just as much if not more! Who is paying for all this?!
Walmart on my town has no more cashiers just self check out
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
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
GPS in the carts
Assuming they have enough security features on these, and regularly clean them, I could see this concept working out very well.
Then you get to the front of the store and wait on a long line to bag your own groceries 🤣
It's been more than 4 years since I last used a shopping cart. Two good sized reusable shopping bags and I can carry enough groceries for a week.
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.
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
Bubbles will make some serious cash fixing these up.
Great just what we needed! Now we need the products to walk to the cart!
They have like little handheld versions of those already in the uk. Only in some stores tho
So if you cut staff jobs does that mean the cost of food goes down🥴
"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.
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.
The scale has me worried since in Australia the scales in the self-checkouts are constantly going “unexpected item in bagging area”
It will cost people their jobs.
What if you change your mind on an item, and don't want it ?
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.
Wow, It just came out to my mind last year when our professor make us think about invention or innovation that would be useful. I have this in my mind same concept and I also present it in front of the class. No I see it as it is. I am so happy even if I am not the one who make the project.
Theres already a self checkout?.. tf is this
hola yoola the lines tho
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
So. Do I get paid for doing someone else's job?
I doubt no one is loosing their job or hrs because of this.
Walmart in my town got rid of cashiers
Can’t wait for my shopping cart to break down and have to wait for assistance that takes at least 30 mins
@Amanda G and clicking on a button will solve the problem 😂
Are you paying for each thing as you scan it, or after you fill the whole cart up? Do you still need an employee to override things that you change your mind on?
People getting so lazy you can’t even go though self checkout Jesus are we even gonna use our legs in the future ahahahah
I suddenly imagined the humans in Wall-E
Lazy? This is self-checkout on wheels.
Helena Mannkopf 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.
This was my idea years ago. Sobeys stole my idea.
Should have acted on it. You think of another idea go for it. That's how millionaires are created
Prove it, where's your patent?
@@astrallarium well obviously I didn't go out and get one now did I
I love this idea, in fact I was thinking of this in the late 80's.
I just did't have the funds to patent it.
Another good thing, that I focusing on it was it's a price checker, example test it out today I scanned some ribs 4.00 more then the posted price.
lol ok
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.
"Sticky fingers" - Haha, notice the front facing camera?
Where my kid gonna sit 🤔
Under the cart
We have those in Asda in the uk but you have to go to a designated checkout place and pay there
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.
And there go the cashier jobs!!
People will loose jobs
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.
Hurry and get to Orlando FL. I will love to shop with it.
When the scale says you’ve added something but you haven’t and then you have to stand and wait for assistance from the minuscule workforce left...
Not very convenient for people with children. Never going to happen.
Then it's not for ya
My grocery store already has something similar. It’s a hand held scanner you take around with you and ring things up as you go. I still prefer a live cashier.
Cart, shopping and self check out all in one. The future will be wild.
THE ROBOTS ARE TAKING OVER
No because people needs jobs. 🤦♀️
I love this! So, will you be discounting my items $15 per hour as I scan, sort and bag them??
this is so nice especially bc I have social anxiety and hate talking to ppl 😭
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
Ok the computer is cool but the actual pay at your cart is not ok that kind takes people’s jobs
Walmart is only self check out where I am
Can these carts go outside and hold up to Canadian winters?
I’m taking this cart home and you aint stopping me.
GPS...
I like it
Won't ever use this and will not shop at a store that does use these.
Are we going to get paid while doing this ? Will this be considered on the clock ?
10 years from now i dont think Cashiers will even exist in these big companies. I always use self-checkout, its so quick and easy. These carts are literally portable checkout stations, that guy was lieing through his teeth if he thinks this wont cause lay-offs.
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
This is the future of retail. Nice!
I don't think this cart would work at my nearby Cox Cash Saver. Not just because they're a budget store. But because people take the carts home with them. Literally we're constantly borrowing them because a lot of folks don't have any cars. It's awesome. Every few days this pretty big pickup comes along & loads them into the back of it. You just leave in a spot they can easily see it like by the dumpsters or on grass. They also have a number they ask you to call if there's one in a really unusual spot.
Normally though I just use my easy wheels cart because it's easier on me. But I've used random sitting around carts to take stuff to my storage unit just up the street.
Omg 2019 and we still pushing card and have to scan stuff and put it in the bag our self you should get payed by end of the shoping ..you did all the work
I hate self checkout ! Feel like there making me do there job
even if it does take cashier jobs away think of how many new positions it'll take to build and maintain these. worth it
Just because it creates new jobs doesn't mean it creates new jobs at the rate it replaces them at.
Jobs for who ? Computer programmers and highly educated people etc Where does that leave others? Without employment . There is going to be a lot of people out of work on social assistance to get by or unemployment. More overload for food banks too. I prefer a regular cart and hope not all stores do this. I can hardly imagine seniors trying to use this to shop . For many it will be a bit intimidating.
@@nameprivate4287 technicians, maintenance, manufacturing, these carts don't just pop out of thin air and take care of themselves. Plenty of good obtainable skilled positions come out of it. More than it takes for one cashier position.
They will layoff for example 25 workers and retain 10 to stock shelves and maintain these carts also put paper on the debit/credit machine!
Almost 3 years later, only 1 Sobeys at Glen Abby in Oakville has this neat technology.
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.
