Unmanned, automated retail – is this the future?

Let us start by saying automated retail is not new. We’ve all used it. That vending machine you got a packet of crisps and a can of Coke from when you were a kid? Automated retail. We didn’t go around calling it that then but that’s what it was. So, it’s not new then. But the pace and scale of automated retail is picking up.  http://bit.ly/BR2Mb7uw5
