New Retail - Inside China's Unmanned Stores

Note: the video claims that this is one of China's Bingoboxes, however after a recent conversation with Bingobox's CEO Chen Chilam I was informed that Bingobox no longer co-operates with Auchan and Auchan Minute is basically Auchan's own version of a Bingobox. The Bingobox stores do not feature self-scanning but instead use RFID-tag or image recognition scanning.
ChinaTalk's Ed Sander visits one of China's unmanned stores. Auchan Minute is one of the countries many experiments with 'New Retail'.

It‘s the same as all other shops without cashiers xP Eventhough still nice. The only difference is that the door is locked. Although here they don‘t lock the door. The store believes in people‘s honesty😊

Not all the people are good

Japan has unmanned connivence store too. I went there last weekend. It is at Takanawa Gateway Station, Tokyo.

[@1pasupaty]

I want this one here in my neighbourhood too

[@AnavictoriaVelasquez-rk5lm]

Estoy encantada aquí se consigue todo, lo que buscamos

[@leky1325]

The whole store will disappear in other countries.

Thank you so much for the Video. Very Interessting. But I would like to ask some things: How do they make sure no one steals anything? At Amazon go, they still have staff inside, and also a lot of cameras. At Bingo Box it seems like someone could take two things but just pay one thing. how do you prevent vandalism, gross contamination (e.g. drunks urinating in the box) or homeless people sleeping in it? And how can I get out of the shop, if I don't find what I was looking for? Do I always have to call the number?

[@patiwatpanurach696]

I was listening to an interview with the founder on the 996 Podcast. They've had very little theft, despite hundreds of outlets so far. The most common incident is that a mother and her young children go in and the child picks something up without telling their mom. Note that inside, you're under surveillance, they know who you are, and they can track you down later.

[@Robert-dt3is]

I highly doubt any homeless people would have a phone. You need one and a wechat account to even get in in the first place for the door to unlock.

[@arielcachi6146]

How much should I invest to have the system for my store?

[@jayrado5580]

In switzerland we have something quite similar

[@Bebeeer667]

Where is? plz

[@sachmo8]

I wonder if we displace all cashiers, waiters, etc where will most people earn a living ?

[@iosianchad2180]

It's funny the door said no video recording.

[@jessjlsy]

Oooh cool. Thanks for sharing!

[@basit147]

what if u don't scan product ?

[@Monawaat_Shaeeka]

I want to start a mini convinces stores that opens 24/7 however instead of being automatic I want a bingo box with 1 worker only and a small cashier. How much would this cost and how can I buy one to ship to my country?

[@gyashreen4203]

what if someone try to steal the item and run away without paying any

[@Gorilla_Jones]

You can only have this because you're under 24/7 surveillance. In the US this store would last 10 minutes. 🤦

[@srijandhare2296]

Nice overview. What is the name of the Soundtrack used in the end?

[@ryanlesner4716]

What happens if you take 4 ice creams and scan only one bar?

[@ryanlesner4716]

@@ChinaTalkNL kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4qoo6WobrKeeNE What if it is cold outside and your face is concealed?

[@万量]

Your WeChat will be automatically debited. Do you understand WeChat? It's a wallet, you can use it to make payments you can also use it to communicate with your family. It's like Whatsapp with an extra wallet feature.

[@STAT303954]

what happens if your phone dies while youre shopping, are you stuck unitil someone else comes lol

[@rasmus7400]

It's gonna be a long night

i need to contact them and how i can get it +

[@PhearaXT]

What should I do if I trap inside this convenience store?

[@ChinaTalkNL]

Buy a product or call the phone number mentioned on the display inside.

[@JUNGLESTRIKEOFDOOM]

In the U.S that would get looted so fast.

did you get it?

[@minhmeo1209]

How do they prevent theft?

[@ChinaTalkNL]

The stores are equiped with cameras. Also, shops require scanning a QR code that is linked to your identity, so if necessary thiefs can be traced. But the presence of a camara is most of the time enough. Start-ups have claimed that the amount of theft is negligible, though I can't verify that with actual data.

This shit is not for me I'm claustrophobic. I'll die of panic attack in locked glass cube.

auchan is a french brand

[@1pasupaty]

I think we literally survived on Auchsn for 5 years.very affordable and beSt quality than market

[@adisiowy]

I love how you tried to pronounce “Auchan” with some Chinese accent at the time Auchan comes from… FRANCE. 🤦🏼‍♂️ It’s easy even for Americans - just say “oh” and “Shawn”… there you go…

[@ChinaTalkNL]

I knew it's from France, but not having them here in The Netherlands and having dropped French in high school I really had no idea how to properly pronounce it. ;-)

[@nevethannevethan7947]

If not buy anything from after inside?

[@RM-ob5py]

cool but i think this is not ideal here:-(

[@vishweshsoni5951]

only one person can enter at a time??

[@rodrigomoulard]

I would ask the same question! :(

[@statinskill]

Too complex having to fiddle around with the phone all the time.

[@psychospin1]

You cannot be in China and not eat those bagged chicken feet :P

[@brizo_small]

Too much hastle for a ice-cream

[@ChinaTalkNL]

Depends on what you compare it to. This 'Auchan 1 minute' concept was meant to save people a long walk through a supermarket, just to buy a few fast-moving items. Everybody in China uses WeChat, so the scanning of a QR code isn't much of a hassle. Grabbing your ice cream, paying by self-scanning and leaving would be much faster than going inside the supermarket. Having said that, this specific unmanned store has already disappeared, probably because of the competition from convenience stores that have been booming in China and often also have self-scanning and mobile payment.
