I'll take the "devil's advocate" position here.

Culled over produce and meats that did not sell? Those products should not have been in the store to start with. Stopping shoplifting? Ever hear of embezzling? If there is a way to steal, there is already a crook trying it.

No cashiers to pay? Well, instead, you have to pay delivery personnel and financial personnel to take in and process payments whether it is at the point of sale or over the internet.

No lawsuits? Falls in stores are exceedingly rare as to be insignificant in terms of eliminating people in the store. Besides, insurance pays for that liability.

How about those displays? They are there to guide you towards the display's brand of cookies or chips rather than their competitor's brand. They SELL things that might otherwise not be sold. If they didn't, they would have been discontinued long ago. They also serve to remind you of things that you might have forgotten to put on your list. They also tempt you to buy things that you might not have even considered otherwise.

And, as to some nutcase shooting up the store, just how often does that happen? If a nutcase really wants to do something evil, they WILL find a way. As an example, I point you to the federal building in Oklahoma and the nut case that parked a truck full of explosives out in front and killed 168 people. Or how about the guy in Nashville the other day? Keeping them out of the store or building apparently had minimal effectiveness.

Stores have become what they are because that is what the public asked for. How long do you think that you might have waited in line for that pound of coffee, pound of sugar, and sack of flour given today's population? An automated warehouse might work for boxed dinners and canned vegetables, For meats and produce, not so good.

Also, not for one minute should you think that this is going to be free. Something like the earlier discussion about shop rates will happen here as well. They ain't gonna do it for free!
