We have that here already. You have a hand held scanner and scan the items as you put them in the cart and then leave, it is auto charged.

Scan and Go

Walmart introduced it in the US but it's not very popular with shoppers

Imagine telling someone from 1900 that you had to walk around the store and pick up the goods yourself, let alone run them through the cash register!

But we have Click & Collect here. Just choose online and then go collect the items later.

A self-checkout setup with four machines costs $125,000 versus just $1,500 for four traditional registers. 10 hours per day x 4 = $1200 per day in just wages (EDIT $600, doh!) So it pays for itself in 105 days.( 210 days) https://www.simplr.ai/retail-podcast/self-checkout-increases-theft-risk

They also increase store theft, and the retailers still come out ahead

Shoplifting accounts for nearly 4% of inventory for retailers with self-checkout, compared to just 1.5% for traditional checkout, according to a report. What’s more, in a recent review of shoplifting offenders, 72% said that self-checkout made theft easy to very easy. Only 8% answered it made shoplifting more difficult.

When the children go back to grandma, do they other two now get to demand $20? That's where we are headed.

This is some copy-pasta I have prepared for this subject:


It will not be "here's some cash, enjoy"

The plan is for future govt. "stimulus" (and then a gradual shift away from cash) to be in the form of Central Bank Digital Currency.

China launched theirs a couple of weeks ago

In the US it is called the Digital Dollar

The Banking For All Act is currently passing through the US legislature. It mandates banks will handle Digital Dollar accounts on behalf of the Fed, your account would actually be at the Fed. Thus the role of independent banks will be eroded and eventually dissolved.

The Govt. will have access to every transaction you make through the App (where, when, what) and transactions only with approved partners.

Part of the scheme involves expiration. The govt. will give you UBI and you have 30 days to spend it, or its gone.

Here's a video about it

It is part of the WEF's Great Reset plan, although it has been rumbling for a long time. The Central Planners believe that the problem of price discovery would be solved if only the govt. could see every transaction and the saving of every citizen.

UBI are the chains packaged as the keys to freedom.

The only credit score will be social.
