RE: Amazon Opening Up Grocery Stores With No Cashiers

If this happens, will small businesses be able to survive? I don't think so unless the automation devices are cheap enough for the to buy and maintain. Either way I wonder whether or not people will actually go to these stores in the future since I fully expect most people to just buy things online and have it delivered right away.

That's a good point... I've been doing most of my shopping online lately and I think this will be the trend

In the grocery industry, are there any small businesses left?
All the grocery stores I see are chains. Even the small, one step up from convenience stores are chains.
I think they were destroyed long ago.

In Asian, there are plenty online grocery stores (operate by farmers or small online stores). Customers pick the time of delivery (normally when they are off work). Online grocery stores uses delivery services to deliver fresh grocery to the customer just before customers start cooking their dinners.
I don't know if any countries with high labor fee and tipping culture would adopt this, but small grocery industry still well alive in Asia.
