There was a grocery store like this back in the 30's. Most people didn't see the workers running in the back filling purchases. Restaurants with a similar idea existed up till the 80's. You put in money and opened a door to get the already cooked food.
This grocery store is following a similar vein, but didn't find the source yet. When I worked at a grocery store, I imagined how we would improve it with automation. Partially because that's how my mind works, and another because I really didn't enjoy doing it.
We… have that here too. It’s absolutely everywhere in rural areas, and you sometimes see it in the suburbs/city, too…
Is that not normal? Seems pretty normal to me.
Admittedly I don’t recall seeing it so often in Sweden, but I did come across it even there/the other Nordics a couple of times.
But yeah, in Aus, that’s… Entirely normal.
It’s generally where I get my eggs and apples from (aside from what I grow), because I would rather my neighborhood get the dollarydoos than some store…
That’s always been the norm, over here, pre “war on cash”, and all that…

No one thought automats were automated. They had cooks, just not waitstaff.
They were fast food cafeterias, killed off because hamburgers meant you didn't have to sit down to eat.
Certain areas of Japan have produce stands with no one manning it, just a can to put money in and the honor system. No automation required.
