Scan as you shop



It's happening everywhere, all asda distribution centers used to have a security hut with a couple of blokes in that would book you in and out. Now every single 1 has an automated touch screen to gain entry

Once Amazon have completed their network of mega-warehouses and people migrate to online only shopping, other supermarkets will follow suit. Soon, there’ll be no reason to leave home.
 
In my village high street, and the next town, there’s an ’Arkwright’ store. It has everything from bird seed to diy to household goods to… loads. The proprietors wear Granville (that was his name wasn’t it) sleeveless patterned pullovers and an apron.

There’s a few of these still around. The post office nearest to me is proper old fashioned and has a similar feel. It’s nice to see, but I fear they’re dying out quickly.
