Russian Convenience Store Tour: LifeMart Yekaterinburg

[@TravellingwithRussell]

What do you think of this type of store. With no main counter to purchase items from. Simple grab what you want, and pay at a self-service check out. Would this work where you live n the world? Is this the future of convenience stores around the world? I am on Telegram, if you want to join me over there. I post a lot of daily content: t.me/travellingwithrussell Perhaps you want to watch these videos on another platform, check out Dzen: dzen.ru/travelwithrussell

[@erikstenviken2652]

It would work in sweden because it is working :)

[@tucoerquilenne6765]

Would never work in the US because of theft. I love the concept though. Instead of putting all that stuff in vending machines they just keep some shelves and fridges stocked up. I also love the seating area upstairs so you can just chill out and have your food/drink time and then go on with your day. The shop is an awesome fusion of convenience and small cafe vibe.

[@j.k.1239]

@@thetruth9210 The biggest issue Russia has now is shortage of labor so sounds like a good idea for them....

[@HyperLinguist-AI]

This is not the concept of cashier-less that you see in the US. Here you depend on the good will of the people of paying with their cards. They could as well leave without paying. What I have seen in the US is that the moment you enter a shop, you have to scan a QR code with your phone or you won't be able to enter and a camera will be following you seeing what you take from shelf and deducting that from the credit you have on your phone. So you can't get away without paying. I don't see any high tech here, just a "I trust you"shop.

These stores also have a counter where products made by children's hands are presented. If a child draws postcards, for example, makes jewelry and brings them to this store, to a special stand. The tag shows the product, the price and the number of the child's bank card. You can pick up the jewelry and give the money to the child. My daughter makes brooches and sells them in this store. People do not steal children's goods, but honestly pay small entrepreneurs. They often overpay for them. Yes, Russian banks have children's plastic cards and a separate account.

I have been quite impressed with the concept of providing people with a “microwave” at supermarkets- which Russell has shown us In Moscow! Commenting from London: I don’t think I’ve seen anything like this in the UK … whether it’s the microwaves or this life market concept! But it’s definitely appealing! What is interesting is that this very modern and forward thinking idea is in Ekaterinburg and not Moscow or st Petersburg where you would “naturally” expect innovation! It just goes to show how variable Russian cities are, and how they all try to carve their own identities despite being quite far from Moscow and St P! Thanks for showing us! And bravo 👏🏽 Ekaterinburg

[@gulia_turbo]

Такой же магазин-кафе есть в Магнитогорске. Небольшом городе в 500 000 человек на Урале. И отлично работает. Никто не грабит, не ломает. Я даже не знала, что в Москве нет таких магазинов. Ведь Москва столица.😊

[@MU-ee9ro]

[@yannapodzyuban826]

This concept has been around for a long time. Even 20 years ago, when buying food in some regular stores, you could heat it up in a microwave. This increased sales. My city has a population of about 60 thousand. Now microwaves can be found everywhere where ready-made food is sold and there are places to eat. It doesn't depend on the city, it can be in the village. It depends on demand. There is a client - there is a service. (google translate)

I have seen a lot of american movies where their shops and their suburban family home communities are shown and it looks like they could absolutely have a shop like this. They had all the best stuff and they could afford it all! But then you look at what the american bloggers publish today and it is like they live in some criminal gang driven open market section of 1990s Moscow. How was it even possible to go down from the best place in the world to a stereotypical shithole in such a short amount of time is beyound my understanding.

[@_anvol_6812]

In fact, there are a sometimes there are cases of theft in LifeMart and that's why all the stores are equipped with video cameras with facial recognition! So if a person steals something or suddenly forgot to pay, then this person's face is entered into the database. Later if this thief goes into another store in the chain (or into the same one) then the employees begin to monitor their movements and what they do. Sometimes they're added to the database for other reasons, for example, we had a person in the store several times who did not flush after themself 🤣🤣🤣

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Wow, interesting. Thanks. Not sure someone not flushing is a reason to look out for them across all the stores. ))

[@viacheslavnovikov1657]

Russell, I suggest you visit the self-serviced Korean ramyon store "Kono" in Moscow. It's located on Ladozhskaya street adjacent to Baumanskaya metro station (between the Pho U cafe and Marsel shawarma shop). It is a completely self-service store where you pick the instant ramen noodle and toppings, then cook it on the spot, and also have some sides and drinks (just like in South Korea). Although I must say, it's a bit on the pricey side, this meal would cost you around 500 RUB.

[@TravellingwithRussell]

When I was in Kyrgyzstan I went to somewhere similar to this. I think it would make a great video. Thanks for the idea.

I'm in Bulgaria 🇧🇬 we have only self-service checkout in stores

[@TravellingwithRussell]

[@russianhackee]

Hey Russel, thanks for another video from my home town! The shop does give off some 7- Eleven vibes for sure, but didn't Japanese completely change it to what it now is? Maybe it is the time to change it once again? One thing I noticed is, there's plastic everywhere. Here in Aus most packaging is now paper or cardboard, it has changed A LOT over the last 3-4 years. I am not just talking cardboard food bowls or coffee cups or paper straws but computers and TV packaging. Also, reusable coffee cups like my glass KeepCup that gets me ¢50 discount at my local coffee shop in Melbourne - I haven't bought a disposable cup in years (and saved a few hundreds of them, if you think about it). Hope this helps!

[@TravellingwithRussell]

Right, a lot of packaging. When I had breakfast with my friend, we were talking about the exact same thing. Thanks for the Super Thanks !!!

[@alexandersedov9896]

Interestingly, in Soviet times, everyday products almost never had plastic packaging. For example, a seller would simply wrap a piece of sausage or butter in wrapping paper. And milk / sour cream bottles were regularly reused for a second or third time. When the new times of capitalism arrived, the plastic packaging came from the West in huge quantities. Ecological Soviet methods began to be considered backward and anachronistic, inconvenient for customers.

Very interesting, i think russia is slowly becoming like japan with the no cashier convienence stores maybe in the future all convienence stores will have no cashiers at all we also have self serve coffee machines at 7 eleven convienence stores in Australia

Some Russian supermarkets have both a live cashier and a self-service checkout. If there is no queue, I usually choose the live cashier because I like to exchange a few words with her (less often with him).
