Every single loyalty card/app.

Some retailers were late to the market vs others e.g. Superdrugs vs Boots, Asda vs Clubcard/Nectar.

7% and then take away staff costs sounds awful business sense!

It makes visiting Waitrose feel like a trip to CEX in a really grubby provincial high street in comparison.

Yup, Whole Foods is a cut above Waitrose - always use that when in the US.

The supermarkets have mostly tried to replace check-out people with those annoying self-scan systems already. The people this will make redundant are those who constantly run from one self-scan point to another overriding its refusal to let you actually scan your own shopping

I do like the one with the barcode scanner though, that has been around since the 90s IIRC and works quite well.

Amazon fresh

Was in Islington at the weekend - don't ask!

Fell across Amazon fresh. Though ooh have to try this.

Prices were about the same as Tesco Express but with a few deals.

Interestingly the experience was excellent. I just picked up some cans of drink and it recognised what I had taken and I paid by card. Oddly no paper receipt but it recognised my card and emailed my receipt.

That's pretty much anyone in retail screwed for a job.
