It would be deemed racist here. Will probably be deemed racist there too. After all it is not exactly catering to their newly arrived uninvited guests.

I remember when I saw online shopping for the first time. In West Berlin. In 1981. Europeans can be ahead of the curve on these things sometimes.

Interesting.

Questions do pop up...

More expensive? Probably.

Membership and credit check, good.

Demand based stock,probably work ok.

Wonder how much trouble will crop up with people barging in with members...8 seconds is plenty long. You could probably make it from 20 feet.

Robberies leaving?

The really bad...somebody won’t be getting a job as cashier...

Imagine the flash mobs looting the store. Sorry to think in those terms. But wonder if it would work in an American city with a significant black population.

The Aldi business model is damned close. I love Aldi. Two people run the store at any given time. Customers even haul away the trash.

We have a certain culture here that has developed something similar. It's called a smash-and-grab. I am not sure how they handle the financial transaction.

For Ilijason, a technician, it all started one night with a broken baby food jar and a hungry, screaming baby. “It was the last one and I panicked,” he said. After having to drive to the city for a new one, he decided that Viken needed a store that was always open. And being a technician, he used technology to solve the problem of having expensive personnel working day and night.

Jeez dude, learn to boil something into mush and then mash it up. It's a lot easier than becoming a programmer.
