Here’s how you’ll be shopping in the 21st century

Supermarkets without checkouts, trolleys that push themselves and shop assistants who know what you posted on Facebook this morning.

The automation and radical evolution of bricks and mortar retail is here, and robots will soon be roaming grocery store aisles like, depending whether you’re a shopper or a cashier, a helpful android from The Jetsons or a Dalek from Dr Who, built to “EXTERMINATE”.

That was the talk at the National Retail Federation’s annual conference in New York City this week, where new technology was on display promising to reinvent the physical shopping experience for the 21st century.

​”Brick and mortar will never go away because brick and mortar is the essence of retail,” said Microsoft’s head of global retail, Greg Jones, on the conference’s sidelines.
