Jak King, the Grandview blogger and activist, tipped me off to another breathtaking innovation of our exciting modern world: “In Sweden’s 1st unstaffed food shop, all you need is a phone.”
Customers simply use their cellphones to unlock the door with a swipe of the finger and scan their purchases. All they need to do is to register for the service and download an app. They get charged for their purchases in a monthly invoice.
The former employees of the store will presumably be allowed to beg outside. This story seems to confirm the truism that most apps are created to solve the lifestyle problems of urban 25-year-olds.
