Smart shopping.

Shopping at the supermarket can be a real chore. And what do shoppers hate most about it? – queues at the checkout. But they wouldn’t need to queue if supermarkets used the latest idea in shopping.

This idea is the ‘smart store’. The smart store would replace checkout assistants with computer technology, and queues at the checkouts would disappear. How would the smart store work? When you entered the smart supermarket, you’d collect a small electronic pen from an assistant. Then you’d go round the store as you normally do and take things from the shelves. You’d run the pen over the bar code on the goods before you put them in your trolley, and the pen would record your purchases. At the checkout, you wouldn’t meet a pen into the console and the computer in the console would show the total cost. To pay, you’d pass a credit card through a slot on the console. Then you’d put your hand or finger on a scanner. This would identify you, so you couldn’t use someone else’s credit card. You’d leave the shop through a security arch like the ones at airports. If you didn’t scan everything in your trolley, an alarm would ring.

Discuss these questions.

1. Would you like to shop in a smart store?

2. What do you think the advantages and disadvantages of the smart store would be

* for the store?

* for the staff?
