Small Robot Grocery Store Planned

Check out the proposed self-serve grocery store . Its like a big and fancy vending machine. A few hundred items to be offered. A store like that could operate 24x7. A 7-11 style store could be set up to work that way. Though cigarettes and alcohol would require a human cashier unless the cash register could verify the age of the purchaser with the credit card or debit card company. How to make a robotic store attractive to use? Speed. The 24x7 open hours is great for night owls. But for the rest of us speed could set a robotic store apart. Very fast service. Imagine you could order from a tablet at home. Or access their product order menus...
