The habit gets a new name.
Cashier-less stores are still rare in the US, but this Dollar General in Appalachia is making waves. It’s like a normal store, but without the humans. Customers rave about the convenience and cleanliness. The technology tracks what you pick up and charges you automatically. It’s like magic, but with cameras and computer vision.
And, of course, it’s only available to those who live in a gated community, because exclusivity is the new convenience.
