Last week the giant online retailer Amazon bought the high-end supermarket Whole Foods and as other supermarket chains shudder as their stock prices drop, shoppers are left wondering how this will affect them. Will we start start getting groceries delivered by drone? Not around here, but with all that money Amazon makes and tech knowledge they have, supermarkets are right to be worried.
Will human cashiers be replaced by self-service checkout options? Will big data allow Amazon to track use personally to make better recommendations and discounts as well as invade our privacy to a greater extent? What do you envision will happen at Whole Foods?
