There used to be no phones, now we can’t function without them. Cars were not common, there were not many medicines or technological innovations. Medicine, technology and technology are constantly being improved, all for the good and convenience of people. But is this really the case? This woman shows what shopping in Toronto is like. Sooner or later, such an opportunity will appear in our country, but will everyone benefit from it? Opinions are strongly divided.
There is a large social group that is not so happy about technological progress
Many people are still surprised by self-service checkouts, which are already found in most large-format stores. Younger and middle-aged people found their way in the new reality quite quickly. Many believe that this method of payment significantly shortens the shopping time. They liked this solution. Unfortunately, older people cannot say the same. Many of them avoid self-service checkouts and choose traditional ones, where the cashier checks out products and accepts payments. These people usually don’t pay by card, they have cash with them, sometimes they don’t have a penny, the cashier sometimes turns a blind eye, someone in the queue adds money, such things are unlikely to happen at a machine.
“Let’s not support such things”
The video that appeared on the Internet divided Internet users and sparked a lot of debate. It shows a woman going shopping in one of the stores in Toronto. He drives a shopping cart, with a small monitor mounted on its handle and a terminal next to it. There is a plastic pad in the basket that probably responds to the weight of the products being placed. The weight and quantity must match to proceed to the payment stage. At first glance – a perfect solution. Shopping that can be done without the intervention of store employees, quickly and without any problems. However, many Internet users note that this type of shopping seems to be a nightmare for older people. This may also mean a large number of layoffs – the more automation, the fewer employees are needed.
Not good, they are getting ready for digital money.
Personally, I like this idea, but the cost of these carts must be high, and that cost will be passed on to the consumer.
Japan has had them for years. They love it!
We stay away from supermarkets and buy only in small local stores, supermarkets directly from farmers or vegetable growers.
More jobs lost. Let’s not support these things.
Stop supporting this, it’s not convenient, it’s counter-productive for humanity.
This doesn’t bode well.
