“Smart Supermarket” would be grab what you want and leave without paying. Like those amazon supermarkets.

@@William_CD well it is partly that as we saw at the beginning but it also has the dining area with the food experiences it seems

It’s mainly about the experience, you’ll maybe go there once or twice just to see it then never go again. It doesn’t try to be something innovative, just flashy

😂😂😂 Gotta love those guys. Wonder what Tom Servo would say?

True but it is the wave of the future - the NWO - where machines replace mankind.

@@ohmomair there's just as many, if not more employees needed there to direct people, prepare fresh food, help with checkout etc

I'm prefer go to traditional market

I love this gimmick but nervous inducing because I'm not much of a techy. I don't wanna make a scene that I'm too ignorant of things 😆🤭

Em que cidade fica isso? Gostaria de visitar

@@akanekotegowa Em Curitiba, mas acabou fechando, o que é estranho porque deveria ter vendido muito mais em tempos de pandemia, soube que o dono andou abrindo outros mercadinhos em bairros de classe média, mas todos mercados de padrão normal...o mercado ficava no bairro Batel...

We have that in the Netherlands as well. It's a small to go supermarket. With like very little products mostly like coffee to go and like sandwiches. You scan your groceries with the app or at a self checkout and that's it. There is security and ofcourse the one who brings all the products there but that's it.

Any video recorded of tiny market?

@@Linnie-nj6vw would you please Share me the video during from the beginning till customer left

Not for the sake of using for the sake of saving money and having to pay alot less people

awdc 2 are you kidding? This place has A LOT of employees! Much more than a normal supermarket

awdc 2 and is expensive has hell

Ya, not even smart mall there still got cashier.

Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh it really depends because some of the stuff that they bought were under 10 us dollars. I'm America, you can spend over 200 us dollars on groceries in stores like same club. In sam’s club, you buy everything in bulk and you have to have the receipt to leave the store. The carts are huge for a reason and the actual building is like a warehouse. So it just depends

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

agreed with u 100% this crazy idea! what are we in a airport or supermarket!

Ha

Omg so true

Then why not using internet explorer to buy stuff?

Thomas H It ‘s crazy, and not very cool at all.

Maybe reheat it at home.

No it's just optional. You can have it packaged if you are going home for later.

It seems to me that it's an option. They package it because they're unsure whether you're eating it there or taking it home. And even if you're eating it there, they can't have open packages travelling through the store. It looks immaculate,... so it's not surprising that everything would be packaged thoroughly to prevent messes and such.

I mean it's not like they have to go get it cooked in store. They can take it home and cook it themselves.

Yeah its a one and done.

True

Agreed

I’d go there everyday…

The crab was alive. It was so fucking huge and kept in such a small container waiting to be eaten. That's so cruel, damn

@@bigred902 Wrong. US recycling rate is 35%, Singapore is 22%. Next time try facts instead of liberal guilt.

@deludeddesktopalien I'm going to say that at least some of the plastic they used was recycled.

@@bigred902 No not really :((

its biodegradable plastic af

Evonne Wilkins ah actually for less then 10 items you could scan it with the app and bag it yourself with plastic bags around or your own bag and leave.

@@DancingBacons that is a cool idea, I could see that catching on quite a bit. The system has room for improvement

@@andrewcurtin7003 That's kind of already being done in some shops in the UK, what you do is that you grab this scanner when you go in the shop, and you scan stuff as you put it in your cart (just a normal barcode scanner). Then you go through the self service checkout, but instead of scanning the stuff like you'd normally do, you just plug in the hand scanner and it uploads what you've bought and you pay.

@@TheNugettinage Exactly, and it's not limited to 10 items (why should it be).

Why the delay in scanning when every modern phone has BLE/Wifi/NFC/etc? These technologies are much faster to use in my opinion. QR codes need to be deprecated.

This is a shitty copy of Alibaba's Hema store. The implementation looks horrible here compared to Hema.

In my grocery stores. You take a scanner at the entrance and scan your items and put it in your bag that you take from home and put back the scanner before exit and pay at a shelf counter.

Magnus Engström I want a store like that!

Yeah you right I agree with your opinion 😎

GOODDDD!

looks more time consuming than a regular supermarket...

Adriyanti indeed...

Same, it's easier to find wanted poducts due to the market size

Same! This type of shopping seems like a gimmick.

It's hundreds! As someone who understands what kind of systems you need to handle hundreds of simultanious users I roll my eyes. The issue is not how much work has gone in to making this miraculous feat happen, it's why anyone didn't stop them from doing it at all. I do understand it's asia, and ideas from the top are rarely questioned by anyone below them.

This is an awesome system. There's definitely some design challenges and refinements that are required, but the overall concept and implementation is truly amazing! There is definitely some clunky designs with the bagging and collection systems that could be argued for a lifetime, and some improvements on the app design, but these are things that will gradually improve over time. I can see this system being beneficial for the elderly and disabled, as soon as the software has improved substantially and the systems become more efficient. Now, if only the uneducated masses on here would stop complaining about the plastic waste.. Many people have never read a food standards guide (legislation) and probably never will. Nor have any clue on how non-plastic "alternative" materials are manufactured nor the potential hazardous risks that these materials can have on the environment.

@@saturnGEEK No, this store is dead in the water. I bet investors have been pouring tons of money in there and that the burn rate is crazy. The day when the investors have had enough, that store is done. Amazon is on to something, but I think they also have some way to go, but they have the capital to do it right and probably will sooner or later. Another contender for "smartest shopping" is rfid stickers, but for now the scan yourself thingie is what is working and I don't see that changing in the near future. For this to work you need to be able to take things from the shelf, put it in your bag and leave the store without any hassle.

@@tommykokko2336 RFID has significant issues - primarily in manufacturing cost and security vulnerabilities compared to barcodes. RFID does have a purpose, but not in the manner that you envision. Amazon and this store have two different markets that they will inevitably target. Amazon's store focuses on rapid purchases without any form of cashier. It's all automatic charging from when you walk in to walk out. Meanwhile, this store appears to focus more on a casual shopping experience - combining supermarket shopping with cafes/restaurants. That's a pretty rare combination to see in many places across the world. Not because "...investors have had enough...", rather consumers aren't interested. Supermarkets that do follow this business model with active cafes/restaurants are very successful.

@@saturnGEEK Rfid isn't less secure than self scanning, cost might be an issue but also might not. I can see why you try to make it an experience, but I would rather watch a mime or ride a mall train than doing this convoluted crap... and that speaks for something.

The waste of plastic is smart because it’ll cause pollution and then over time it’ll build up helping climate change grow and therefore killing humans which is smart.

Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh yup they are idiot

It got to start somewhere, right? I mean this may not be as practical as your traditional way of shopping, but with enough tests and dry runs, soon enough this will be the new norm.

I don't want a virtual money. It doesn't give me satisfaction of actually having that amount of money it feels like meh 🥺

Khaleesi Romaerys samee.. but yah know in technology, it’s not a matter of what we want, it’s a matter of what we can. :/

This isn't meant to replace or be like a normal supermarket. That's the point. 😒

@@IGot7RevtinyArmyStayOnceBlink If you have a pair of eyes you can clearly see that this market is more than just a normal supermarket.

Se7en ...if you would use your eyes you would see nothing more than a glorified....SUPERMARKET like the title of the video suggested. So again what’s so special.... I’ll wait.

@@IGot7RevtinyArmyStayOnceBlink Damn are you really serious? May i ask in which country do you live? because this supermarket seems for me more than a normal or "glorified" supermarket.

Yep the same here lobster is expensive

@@nicnica nah it got converted because the lobster was shown to be 19 dollars when it got packed

Less human, more profit~

There are still humans here helping you. I don't see the problem with this? Robots just make human life easier.

I personally would like less human strangers when I go out its why I go very late or very early.

For efficiency

Agenda 21?

Alex Undiscovery that doesnt mean they have an excuse for using too much Plastic. Im from Asia and yes it IS common THATS the sad part.

Alex Undiscovery I understand the comment completely if youre asian your confusion with how much westerns care about it is understandable but thats part of the problem. Us Asians are so confused on why its so bad, we find it "innovative" or "handy" WHICH SHOULDNT be the mindset. As for your question, watch the video again. The food is literally served in plastic along with everything else, my advice for you is to keep an eye to those stuff because we just go on our merry way sometimes without even noticing until someone points it out.

Alex Undiscovery I’m from California, therefore plastic is one of my main trigger points lol. It never fully disintegrates or have the best recycle life. In this video: fruits, vegetables and single meals have plastic surrounding them. Just for a one time use then landfill. I’ve never been to Asia, so I don’t want to fully bash them, because here in the United States we use a TON of unnecessary plastic. However, we all live on this beautiful planet together and no matter our country or race. We together need to step back from using hella plastic.

@@mosesramos5594 That's the difference between Singapore and you yanks. The majority of wastes in Singapore are recycled, disposed of for electric power plant. None of those are throwing over to the sea. This is a country with drinkable recycled and desalinated water processed from the sea. Unlike Californian who can't even get clean water during the drought, even though it sits right next to the ocean.

Yo u see them apples individually wrapped I’m like wtf 2.49

To be honest, this is a market that's for the rich and wants to spend their time in it and not to be in a hurry. There are different types of markets and this is of those for leisure purposes.

Yes people hardly understand how to use self check outs this would not go well here in the US

@@peacemakerjo6166 nah people just really hate waiting here and half this video is just waiting. the reason self-checkout is so popular here is because its faster

This is already going on in north America at Sam's club. I scan everything with the barcode scanner on my phone while putting the items in the basket and when I'm going to leave I check out and pay using the app.

i miss wallmart

Amazon is doing it

I personally hate it. It's overly complicated and it takes forever once you are finished. Instead of packing it yourself - which takes a minute or maybe two - you send it off to the ether so someone else can pack it before sending it across the store AGAIN. Also, the amount of plastic used is just ridiculous. Why pack shit in so much plastic when it gets opened and thrown away 2 minutes later either way?

Sunset Nebula I’m going to guess majority of the packaging is to prevent spills and messes. The store does look pretty freaking clean for being a grocery store.

I love it too! It's super cool

I am lazy, so I'll prefer to just pick stuffs up, gave them to the staffs along with money, and take them home. No need to scan myself, nevermind had to take out phone, open apps, and do whatever steps required.

Tatia Irwinn yeah, a bit tedious compared to amazon go.

its a really really bad and slow alternative, that's the problem. Edit: sorry I didn't see this comment was 6 months old

I was just thinking that. I had to look up the official language just to fact check. Lol

China is more efficient

Geremy Roxas Tesco’s?

Smart scan at Sainsbury's?

Which one it is? and what exactly is there?

Eric Davis They also have Bundaberg Root Beer which is an Australian brand that I see in my local Aus supermarkets!

i couldn't say it better

Still beats Malaysia though.

This looks cool and fun. You're still eating real food here and having it prepared for you??? Don't be so negative.

DmY808 Aww, is it really boring in Singapore? Is there any popular fun activities? I want to visit or even live there one day.

@DmY808 If Singapore's weather is what you call horrible. Good luck in other countries dude.

@@jxkkashyehf8199 I got the exact same question lmao

@@jxkkashyehf8199 Americans destroy everything if there isn't an armed guard watching them

Sel Gonzo Hello!

Honestly? Judging by the size of those crates I'm willing to bet they are about as big as a person, it's kinda hard to tell from the angle, but if that's the case they are more then likely gonna use braded steel cable to support the bags, more then likely having it attached through the bag to underneath it as well (so that the bag is being cradled by the cable) If this is true then those cables can hold a couple hundred pounds, the actual fabric probbaly dosent hold that much weight, I didnt see anything overly large in the store, but I am willing to bet if somone gets alot of stuff they just split it between multiple bags (Entirely based on what I saw in this video, probbaly not accurate)

Haha. I looked at the tiny shopping cart and thought...ok. But here it is common to buy water, pet supplies, groceries for an entire week, etc all in one go. Pack it in the car and drive home with 289319 products. Guess if you had to take the train or bus, you would only buy a small amount too.

I was thinking the same!

I totally went back a few seconds to see if my eyes had me tricked. But no, that amount was really printed on. >_< I assume you already pay for having it prepared too? And totally agree. Have a plate and some connection to the cooking area which transports the groceries to be cooked, rather than having the customer handle it.

I think because they don't know if you're taking it home or not, but just in case you do they do that 🤷🏽‍♀️

You do realize that people in Singapore do recycle a lot right? Most of the recycled materials are used to power plants and such.

Gtfo fr

@@The_Olive_Dragon jus read Singapore only recycle 2% so what are you talking about????

You don't "need" to interact with people and you certainly don't "need" to interact with them in order to be human. How silly.

Catalina Bien they tasted really good too 😋

Did you miss the part where you need it to purchase and retrieve your items?

@@jonathandpg6115 Kinda of my point. As a supermarket it limits access to people with smart phones. No older people without smart phones, no poor people with wrong type of phone. Without the phone..can someone even access this place, purchase food and pickup the food?

Not familiar to this system but it appears to me you won't be able to enter the market if your phone runs out of juice, or you forget to carry your phone. And one will run into trouble if battery runs flat amid the shopping process.

OK calm down, this is more of a novelty supermarket than a regular place. In Singapore we have tons of normal supermarkets. This place is built to increase the attractiveness of the honest bee app and provide a fun experience rather than serve as a real everyday supermarket for most people. Thats why they make you present their app with a valid card. Also in Singapore around 76% of the population has a smartphone and lots of old people also have and use smart phones.

I get your sentiment, but are you even Asian or at least familiar with Asia? The only people without smartphone here are babies and dead people.

To employ even more machines than self checkout does. They took arrr gawbs! :-)
