AmazonGo is well known. The online retailer is entering the physical market with, potentially, 3,000 stores by 2021. These stores do not include any checkout personnel. Everything is done autonomously.
Many are projecting this could change the face of retail along with the job market. Eliminating cashier jobs will affect millions of lower income families. It also strikes at the heart of teenagers who often break into the workforce in that manner.
Now we have a company designing a system that is intended to eliminate the cashier position from all retail establishments in the next 5-10 years.
Part of our view at Manna is that this will only get worse at time goes by. Technology is not going to reverse course. From our perspective, while there will be jobs created, the pace of the new automation will eliminate more over the next decade.
Our goal is to be one of the solutions that steps in to help offset the pain caused by this. By providing everyone who signs up with some coins, we hope that, over time, they have a bit of a buffer against any job destruction.
