Unmanned Convenience Stores

[@azguarder]

The audio in the second store did permanent psychic damage to me I’m not ok 😂

[@bvblover17]

I think she did that because of copyright music

[@Haley-ne6or]

Same I literally had to mute the video lol

[@michaelwesten4624]

copyright music in the store. so no tailor swift for you

[@chrismansyahfadillah2103]

Sounds like technical problem music😂😂

[@BriarLeaf00]

I'm not gonna lie, being able to pop into your local 7/11 for a quick microwave curry is something I very much envy.

[@alleosussquirt8041]

I'd envy popping into anywhere for a quick microwave curry dog.

[@BriarLeaf00]

@alleosussquirt8041 ugh me too. Just give me a good meal I can buy when I'm tired and don't want to/ don't have time to cook.

[@michellevonsenden1306]

You guys are really smashing it for us travellers. A great introduction into a country before you discover the restaurant areas. I love the Bacon contents always fed 😅

[@JulieT..]

That cake may be made in Japan but that is definitely a German cake. Baum = Tree, Kuchen=cake. It is made by building up layers and layers of thin cake making it look like the inside of a tree. 🌲 🍰 ❤ 🇩🇪

[@dsmith6785]

You didn’t mention the butter chicken…menthos, lays chips?

[@michellebowers2838]

@@dsmith6785Those weren’t claimed to be from a country they aren’t actually from.

[@dozzer88]

Sehr lecker

[@angeladormer6659]

I was going to say that. It is actually cake batter too isn't it? Cooked on a big spit gradually adding layers of batter while the spit turns cooking each layer. Watched it on Hairy Bikers.

[@superlynnie]

It's a less tasty version of kueh lapis. 😂

[@Belltrigger]

For me and my mom, some of the fun watching these videos comes from guessing what options will be selected! There are many times I wish I was there, so I could try some of the foods too!

[@seraphilight]

From Amazon's experiment it turned out their unmanned stores were actually quite manned- the ai wasn't accurate enough and most instances were sent through to employees watching the cameras from the comfort of their home! So it's possible this one isn't either.

[@scout8145]

I was thinking of that, too! That was quite a few years ago though, so I wonder if the technology got better, or if there is still a lot of human intervention in this version. The “AI-powered” claim on the front of the store is very vague. It could mean a lot of different things, including humans watching cameras with AI suggestions, or scales and sensors being double-checked by humans. Or maybe it’s 100% manual, but ChatGPT helped write some of the code, lol

[@anjalimaurya8379]

Great that you even informed the store for the unpaid item, kudos to you guys✨✨

[@Darkwolfpocco]

Idk why I live these videos so much, but DB is in my top 5 KZbin channels... maybe even my favorite.

[@chinesesquawk]

WHO will clean the unmanned microwave?!?!

[@atlanticocean4494]

Probably the same guy that brings in the food deliveries.

[@GlassesnMouthplates]

The microwave will absorb the blood spill of the sacrificed packed food.

[@ramyasaravanakumar126]

That WHO person only😂

[@anneliesececi418]

The microwave doesn’t get cleaned even when someone is there 😅

[@chancegreen214]

[@RowdyProwdy]

@ I said near 10. We round up round here.

[@antrazitaj5209]

Baumkuchen is not a unique japanese thing, it's originally German, and there are other related cakes in Europe in various countries

[@angemaidment5640]

Yes, I’ve heard a Japanese KZbinr talk about it.

[@万恶共匪毒害中华]

It's obvious, the name itself isn't Japanese, only people who don't know the language thought it's Japanese food

[@vomm]

Original Baumkuchen, yes, but this is Japanese Baumkuchen. You don't find these in Germany or Europe. Is Schnitzel German? Or Austrian? When it originated from Italy? It's all of them. In their regarding variations, like Jägerschnitzel is German, Wiener Schnitzel is Austrian, and the original is from Italy. What we see here is Japanese Baumkuchen.

[@pkmnan00bis]

@@vomm Japanese Baukuchen is just Baukuchen. The ingredients and technique is the same.

[@vomm]

@@pkmnan00bis Oh yeah all the dozens of variations of Baumkuchen in Japan are the same, thanks, I had no clue.

[@tjs114]

The carbonated fruit punch had an actual pull tab on it! I haven't seen a real pull tab since the early 1980s when everyone in the States switched to the fulcrum tabs.

[@juliaharvey2866]

Always love the content, but I do miss the night market/street fair rambles.

[@LadyNeeka]

Glad I'm not the only one! I do wonder if perhaps they got food poisoning from them and maybe decided they wouldn't do them anymore? Some of the stalls did seem very unhygienic. Or maybe its just coz they can actually afford to visit very expensive restaurants now with how well the channel is doing 😅

[@tremaynechetty8900]

Imagine a store like this in the USA 😅.... in one night it would be empty with not one registration

[@Ulisesgmm_]

En México destruyerán la tienda por miedo a la tecnología

[@Ba1k3n]

Right... because every American is an uncouth Heathen. edit due to accidental strikethrough

[@EpicLebaneseNerd]

one night ? more like 45 seconds after the local hoodlums know about it.

[@haitolawrence5986]

Same here in Canada. Foreign students are even cleaning out our food banks which are intended for the poor and needy.

[@tremaynechetty8900]

@haitolawrence5986 it's actually really sad and unfortunate.

[@india1727]

9:23 it says 5 items, but there are 6... was wondering how the scanning works...

[@mellosunflower]

I'd love to live in a society so honest that unstaffed convenience stores are a normal thing. Hete in the states we even have security at self-checkouts.

[@Anita-nd8wc]

I love how at 10:06 you *aggressively* put everything in that bag

[@robertogarciaramirez3777]

The tree cake (from German: Baumkuchen) is a traditional German pastry cake made with a spongy bread dough and with a cylindrical shape that is hollow in the center. It is sometimes called the 'King of Cakes' (German: König der Kuchen).

[@GlassesnMouthplates]

The Paddle Pop Rainbow is powered by nostalgia, it's one of the "unusual" flavors that have stood the test of time.

[@regybanez5743]

Watching Dancingbacons become part of my daily life!!❤

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCysts]

Actually, baumkuchen is German but it's popular in Japan.

[@vomm]

No, it's origin is German, but this version is Japanese. You don't get this variation in Germany.

[@SoratheWonderful]

Whole audio experience: when you get water in your ears and everything gets muffled with a dollop of tinnitus

[@taffyrabbit6]

did i ever tell u that ur my hero, dancing bacons? ur my hero 🙂‍↕️✊

[@ich_bins]

"BAUMKUCHEN" comes from Germany and is a German delicacy

[@calmcatalystofchaos13]

omg the paddle pop ice creams! they are my childhood favourites(especially the green one!)but unfortunately its no longer manufactured in my country :((

[@swaynottocool]

the second unmanned store has some pretty distorted music 😂

[@stariki01]

9:21 i heard big bang and i couldn't believe my ears lmao video is super cool, i wish there were stores like this where i live !!

[@littlemiss_76]

I like the chocolate paddle pop myself, my kid likes the rainbow ones too. Paddle Pop is what Aussie kids grew up on.

[@万恶共匪毒害中华]

The Paddle Pop in this video looks like an ugly mess because it melted, too bad for the people who never seen Paddle Pop before

[@Tiger351]

Wish they still made the choc mint ones from the 80's, those were the best with choc top banana a close second.

[@Cursethedawn]

That Octobox place had a lot of stations where you place your palm. Seems like a perfect way to share viruses with every customer that shops there. 😕

[@samanthadean1083]

Second store kinda reminds me of a store called Miniso over here in Canada!

[@haranpanpan5464]

I used to have rainbow swirl (ice-cream) as well, but it got discontinued 😢 I miss it soo much

[@SlapStyleAnims]

I wish there were unmanned stores in the US too but culturally it just wouldn’t work 😭

[@angemaidment5640]

Culturally? Like, the way you have to scan a debit or credit card to get in, and can’t leave without paying?

[@andrewgrant6516]

You've never seen anybody jump a barrier? Bring a trolley to the door and pass stuff out to accomplices? A team of six criminals turn up in a cloned van and strip the place to the bone in three minutes. Steal the security cameras tòo.

[@PirikkoP]

Same here in Germany. We got one of those automated pizza vending machines last year and it was totally vandalised and removed in the span of 2 weeks. Damn degenerates.

[@万恶共匪毒害中华]

cmiiw, even if the thieves are arrested, they will be let go if the stolen goods are less than $1000 in value. I don't know if any other countries have such relaxing laws LOL

[@Besharps]

hope there will be more cup noodles videos 😀I saw some interesting ones on shopee

[@chrisml5604]

8:14 they’re playing Haru Haru! I’m excited for BIGBANG comeback I just didn’t expect an older song to be playing ! And 9:25 playing Loser!! Whoever runs this store is a VIP :D

[@PhearaXT]

2:22 Well, that was a fail. There’s a liquid spill in the microwave. 😆

[@dreamseer7]

Yep thats a German cake. My husband born and raised in Germany would tell you that too. But the Japanese love this cake. It's really yummy.

[@ewelinko]

Placing your palm on a scanner in order to enter a convenient store 🤨 idk about that but I don’t mind the idea of having an unmanned store in my area

[@Xanderzone365]

[@ebitempurafry]

the songs in the convenient store throw me of so bad omg

[@juhsticka]

okay but the background music at 1:04?! amazing

[@andrewinnj]

"Listen to Your Heart" by Roxette. Great 80's Swedish pop duo, also known for "It Must've Been Love," which I'd argue is the better banger.

[@stoneshouses]

That was " I wanna know what love is" by the Foreigner.

[@Agnom]

I can see I wasn't the only only singing along 😅

[@justmeVann]

I agree Durian fruit smells but tastes good ❤

[@Nandeyooo]

Just exit and it will charge to your card??? Wow, cool😮

Gosh that would be heavenly if I get to experience unmanned convenience stores for the first time

[@Marta-dz5cv]

Entering shop with our palms? That's new to me

[@alwayssnacking]

I am curious, what camera gear do you use?

[@arandomcommenter0135]

I won't lie, I thought the video was a reupload at first because they went to a shop they featured in another video lol

[@collembolan]

10 seconds ago... perfect timing to watch before bed!

[@mistiewaters2185]

[@ZimVader-0017]

How are the things charged on your card? Are there cameras or sensors that tell the AI that a product was taken?

[@Mystyx-Sama]

"Caaan't stop now! I've TRAVELED so faaar! To change, THIS, lonely liiiiiife!" But for real, I am jealous lol. Got none of this in the U.S., at least to the best of my knowledge O.o

[@LemoNanora]

Prawn salad sandwich is my favourite at 7-11, best eaten it warm

[@elintonettetviberg5524]

Living on the opposite side of the world I have never heard of Orion pies before, so I read it as strawberry onion pie. Found it a bit too exotic until my brain and eyes synced again😂

[@estebangutierrez160]

I would ask, 'why don't we have any of these over here in America?' but then I realized, it's because people can just hide these items and even break in to steal these things.

[@handyba5226]

The first 7-11 was playing Foreigner in the background lol very old song classic 80s

[@KyuunaHellsing]

Totally thought I was hearing things ty for clarifying 😊

[@ZukAniFan]

I heard “I want to know what love is”… is that the song? I always forget the artist…

[@careeningdirigibug]

the sound quality seems to drop a lot at 4:39 i can’t tell if that’s my device or the video itself

[@alouetta12]

I think the song that plays there is copyrightedd so they had to somehow mute the song while keeping other sounds, which is why everything soudns disorted

[@garfieldandfriends1]

Copyright music playing in the background, so the music got filtered out

[@kamalir7580]

Paddle pop ice creams have always been advertised in India but none of us have ever seen them in shops to purchase.

[@TrudieHagen]

Another great video 😅

[@thewildeguys]

Dancing Bacons, do you have a merch shop? Love your vids and would like to support!

[@bobstanden6788]

Did you leave that mess in the microwave? Very naughty Mr DancingBacons.

[@andrewgrant6516]

Made a mess of the microwave. No point having an unmanned shop if you need staff to tidy up.

[@ManticorePinion]

I would imagine DB did their best to clean it up.

[@vjpearce]

Why does the music of the second store remind me of L.A. Beast's old eating challenge videos? Also, you put six in your basket but the AI checkout counted five items. Good for you messaging the store about that. My dad wouldn't have bothered. He would have just shrugged and said: "That's AI for you."

[@ethereal7309]

Sister, next time tasting biriyani..try using hands..it will taste more savoury and delicious than ever!

[@angeladormer6659]

Thank you DB ❤❤❤

[@Shamrock013]

Remember when you guys used to eat street food? Those were the days.

[@Uniley]

It seems super strange to me that you have to enter the store by scanning the palm of your hand and that it is self service at that level. I don't know, I don't think that exists near where I live.

[@MakailaM]

BigBang mentioned at the 2nd check out 😁😁

[@totallytotal07]

9:48 love this song

[@yellowsmello]

The filter you used inside octobox to block the music reminded me of a creepy pasta

[@GreatSageSunWukong]

unmanned store is dystopian

[@nintendoatarikiller]

I hope they bring this to Canada, along with the fresh food. North American 7-Eleven lags behind Asian ones. Having to scan a credit card to go in would make shoplifting harder.

[@ZimVader-0017]

Only if they use floor to ceiling doors like they did on the second store. People would jump over those turnstiles.

[@Gryphnn]

How do the shelves get stacked though?

[@tagbon]

Thanks for showing us these interesting stores!

[@LpShyGuy]

I find it funny they call these "unmanned" like- who do they think is restocking the shelves? Also tbh most of them are being watched on cameras anyways

[@JennyWestheaven]

That Octobox a liminal space with the audio being distorted, though I imagine it was done because there was other discernable audio that you didn't want to catch on your video 😂

[@marukun4584]

11:18 as always, 80% air and 20% chips

[@jonmcintire9067]

They use fresh cream and chilli in the butter chicken , the Thai creamy curry uses coconut milk , it even tastes really tasty .😀😀😀😀😀😯😉😈😈😈😉😎💀💀💀💀💀💀

[@inmydarkesthour2278]

As someone living in america the Lay's isle pisses me off lol...we have like 5 flavors here

[@evalinen]

is the audio weird during the second place for everyone???

[@Brackinese]

Yeah. Either it's still processing or the recording got screwed up. Lovely compression artifacts

[@PirikkoP]

Maybe they had to mess with the audio because there was copyrighted music playing in the store. Seems plausible with youtube

[@greylocke100]

Did the store ever get back to you about the chips? It looked like they may not have put the RFID tag on the bag.

[@JadenYukifan28]

I was thinking the same thing since all of the items were in the basket when it was scanned.

[@ackerman7899]

Unmanned store like this would get robbed very quickly in my country.

[@jamz3243]

How odd that the lays chips did not get scanned by the machine. Hopefully they will fix the problem with their scanner.

[@rayzee.n]
