【推荐2】Imagine you walk into a store. Strangely enough, you see no staff(店员) inside. You pick up things and prepare to wait in line and pay. But even more oddly, there is no cashier at all. So what has happened to this store?
Well, you may have entered Tao Cafe, a cashless store created by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba. In July, the public got to see the store for the first time at Alibaba’s Taobao Marker Festival in Hangzhou.
The 200-square-meter store sells drinks, fast food and snacks. It can hold up to 50 shoppers at a time. To enter and shop, people only need a smartphone with a Taobao app and the Alipay account(账户).
By scanning their Taobao QR code(二维码), shoppers are followed with cameras for facial recognition. The store has also digitalized(数字化) all goods and their placement on the shelves. So when shoppers pick up goods, the system will be able to “watch” and remember” their choices.
When shoppers are ready to leave, they don’t wait in line to pay. Instead, they go through two checkout doors. Then the bills will be paid with a Taobao account connected to Alipay.
According to Alibaba, the checkout machines can recognize goods even when shoppers put them in pockets or bags. So it is almost impossible to steal things from the store.
Tao Cafe is not the only cashless store in China. A 24-hours convenience store with no staff called BingoBox opened in Shanghai in June. To enter the store, shoppers scan a QR code on WeChat or Alipay. But unlike the Tao Cafe, they have to scan another QR code to leave the BingoBox.
