Technology is moving so fast it is adapt or die for retailers. I expect to see delivery drones flying around regularly in a few years time in Britain.
Won't happen. They're loud and annoying, I can't imagine what a swarm of them would sound like in a built up city.
Only thing stopping them is regulation. Noise and payload are already being solved. The issue will always be that a drone collides with another drone, a building, birds, etc and someone below gets killed
Little shops will only survive if they sell something nobody else has and at the right price to pull the people in, I travel 2 hours to a farm stall because they sell homemade produce that I can’t buy from anywhere else.

Stephen Roche I know, I wish I could but I’ve suffered a stroke that limits what I can do.
Foxy Lady Sorry to hear that.

Very rude stephen

Amazons cheaper though why go shop pay 20-30% more and get a ticket coming out of town
I don’t give a damn, things move on
I would prefer to get off my rear end and to walk to the shops near me, supporting my local community and putting money straight back into my town, not straight into billionaires pockets.
What have the billionaires done for your town, if anything?
I used to work in Amazon. Slave labour.
a lot of big places are, anything mike ashley owns is cancer to work at from what I have heard
i used to work for them too delivery driver never again
A lot is down too greedy local councils and car park mafias charging a fortune to park anywhere
@cornel cornea he's refering to the tactics car clamping companies use.
the car park maffia is very real.
Population going up , number of human jobs going down . The future really isn’t looking good from employment opportunity’s .
First Name population is starting to level out, if not decrease in developed nations.
@@s1lenttoad422 No it is not. There is not one shred of evidence I am aware of to support that theory. If it does please direct me to it. UN dept of social and economic affairs. upward trend in population size is set to continue. 11.2 billion by the close of this century. thats a positive additon of approx 83 million per year.
First answers to start cutting our population. Not just here, but in the rest of the world.
S1lent Toad Yeah but it’s still no way near what we need to cut. We need to be cutting humanity in the billions right now.
@Mr Comment People said that when farming became mechanised and guess what happened? thats right unemployment and it has never stopped! at one time the only people who did not work were the lame.
Next retailer: hey want to buy this 80 pound shirt we got made in Asia for 3 pounds.
"I have a horrible feeling there may be worse to come" Prophetic words
Sell quality not imported junk. Sell service and talent.
sell british first
Its not the death of the highstreet, it's the death of industry and manufacturing jobs. It's the death of towns and livelyhoods.
The way i see it I have 3 choices. 1) buy everything online. More choice, takes less time, and quite often costs less. 2)Shop in out-of-town retail parks. Free parking, plenty of choice, good prices, instant purchases. Or 3) go into town. The only reason I find to go into town now is to have a snoot around the charity shops.
When it's up to 90% cheaper, and no employees to pay for, no pensions to pay for, no sick days, just saying, THE FUTURE!!!
Get these shops and offer them at a trade show online offering as much info about the area as possible.
Time 6:38 the shop have the ring doorbell that is owned by Amazon. Fitting with the segment.
Ulf Abrahamsson solid spot
Yes another company amazon bought out and they say amazon isn’t trying to monopolies everything give me a break.
I remember going to the carpet shop with my dad. Sad that’s closing down.
Anything in shops can be bought online for cheaper. Why would anyone go else where.
Killing local businesses and paying almost no tax. Nothing being done to help the older generation to survive. Can't expect them to suddenly become digital marketing experts or retrain for a different career.
The question also is why dont more shops sell online too and avoid torrid competition.
AI will leave us jobless, welcome to the hunger games society.
only for the low skill workers, which will get even worse with increase in immigration, low skill workers are doomed for the future
@@BodybuildingSteve They'll probably say, upgrade yourself, follow us, or be left behind. They ain't putting no micro chip inside my body.
@@allanmclaughlin1152 the future is 3 options
get educated and find a decent career and forget about being replaced by AI
be born into a rich family
be low skilled worker, get replaced by AI and live under a bridge lol
@@BodybuildingSteve Nah if only its white collar work like lawyers and accountants that will get automated first.
The industrial bosses must be drooling for this .
It is so very sad because thees businesses really understand their customers.
How can current firms grow to be able to take up new locations? That is the question to ask.
Well done Amazon!!Keep going on!People will work for food rations sooner or later!
Everything in the UK is dying including manufacturing, retail sector and others, yet instead of the UK seeking cooperation and collaboration with other countries it is seeking isolation through Brexit....
This is happening everywhere not just the UK! countries in Europe are being bled dry by the EU which is why spending is down overall. Leaving the EU is best option and we will just be the first country to leave and because of that the EU will put the pressure on everyone else so more countries will leave and the EU will collapse.
But we haven't left yet so all our problems must have been caused by 40+ years of EU.
It's dying because we are part of the EU. Now we can leave the EU with no deal and forge our own path by negotiating trade deals with the rest of the world.
@@ancietman 100% correct, the problem can't possibly be "brexit" because the problem predates brexit.
Very interesting
now if they could only get robots to deliver to us, that way I'd actually get my package not lost or mistreated
Haha yeah go to town and get a parking ticket and then get a speeding ticket driving back out of it. Whilst wasting petrol.
Just walk or cycle, it's cheaper, easier and less lazy.
2:08 Carpets have become obsolete, more difficult to clean, more unhygienic, hard floors or tiles are cheaper in the long run, they do not need to be replaced. These old folks should have seen the trend coming and sold out long ago. Now they are whinging.Pffff
I'm young and much prefer carpets / rugs
Most shops I loved have gone now pointless going up town easy to order online
On one end people need jobs to make a living while staying competetive on the other the consumer wants the best product for the lowest possible price in order for the investor capitalist etc to make a profit its maybe a question of competition and of innovation along with incentives.
Alibaba is bigger then Amazon, Ebay, Walmart combined. Alibaba.
If business owners are not willing to adapt and change then they just aswell close but can't moan about it if they just cavt be arsed.
Adapt and change 🇬🇧
Bump. Just getting warmed up
Automation takes jobs. No jobs no money, no money no shopping.
Works for me, I'm an electronic engineer xD
For me too I am a software developer :D
Wow that's not ok
The councils everywhere have approved retail parks that feature free and unfettered parking. Whilst they fine, hassle and overcharge users trying to access the traditional shopping areas. The end result is for all to see.
Parking is definitely one of the biggest rip-off that’s putting people off going into town centres in the first place as well. Not to mention it’s also hindered by a lot of people not being able to park their electric cars in them because councils aren’t hurrying up and installing more charge points. I’d imagine if Amazon were to invest in that then we wouldn’t have no problem would we.
Where's the bloke sniffing his knife?😂
Technology kills jobs
Well it kills unskilled jobs
@@woodland5325 exactly this and immigration is R.I.P for low skill workers
Mike Ashley already gave a plan to save the HighStreet, if MPs don't want to listen everyone will suffer.
Mike ashely idea of retail business seems to be sell fast and cheap and dont pay tax

And it has only got worse since Covid-19 came on the scene.
Those that can't diversify dies?
Gov shouldn’t allow it, it manpower will be diminished
which leads to unemployment
That’s nice. Minimalism as a lifestyle will eliminate robot jobs!😉
That's a good way at looking at it
That is what warehouse are today, Companys Don't want to Pay Humans now
Ive not got excess money to spend. Pay me more wages, i will spend.
Amazon doesn't pay taxes what BS is this guy chatting. 6:02
Atleast the robots keep there warehouse cleaner 😂😂
We all know what’s coming down the road god help us all .
Exactly no humans in this Amazon factory so no more people salary
what a heap of bobar the world has become.......
Shouldn’t be allowed. People need jobs.
I wouldnt buy my Veg i tibles online either
time to start fighting back, boycott amazon and the big supermarkets
All u hear stories about the big tech firms not paying tax just add a online transaction tax and online advertising fee
I don't buy from Amazon.
Why not?
Most of our shops are owned by foreigners anyway 👎👎👎
bob rail so?
@@bobrail733 good point
Machines do not get sick, do not need breaks, do not steal and do not make mistakes.Humans and unions have made us all obsolete, thanks to protests and laws.
machines do break down.....alot
Tragic watching this now, post the worst of the pandemic.
Jam shop girl knows what’s up, the carpet shop looks horrible and unwelcoming!!!
of course they will get rid of human workers in Amazon 😅
Over do it with robots and people won't have disposable income to spend at Amazon
Yeah...😉...right...sure yah do! 😂😂👌 6:02 #liesallLies
at some point the working class are going to have to fight or be cleansed!
Soon football clubs would sack all thier players and replace the with tactical football playing robot.
I haven't bought anything from Amazon in a year; I'm not willing to support this company anymore.
Death of everything... Torie power. 💪
*Due to Capitalism!
No, it's due to globalism, idiot. Capitalism works by private companies within a country PAYING EMPLOYEES not replacing them with robots. This is Globalism, using one country as hub for free labour, making sales in that country, shipping those profits out of that country without paying taxes or wages their, it's globalism.
Surely its BREXITS fault 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
thats the loss of jobs at airbus, ford, jlr, toyota, honda, and vauxhall youre thinking of.
Communism don't look so bad now does it?
Why ?
@@dannymcgauley7357 Communism is extreme socialism, so what ever these big corporations make people will get a share.
