Whew Chile! 7-Eleven Reportedly Experimenting With Cashier-less Stores

<p class&equals;"p1">&num;Roommates&comma; looks like another store is about that cashier-less life&excl; It seems cashier-less stores may be the new wave of the future&period; We reported a few days ago that a &num;SamsClub in Texas was opting to do a cashier less store&comma; and now it looks like &num;7Eleven is following suit&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"p1">That’s right roommates&comma; it seems 14 Dallas&comma; Texas based stores will feature this new &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;scan &amp&semi; go” technology that allows customers to pay on their phones&period; Now before y’all start&comma; though the checkout process will be cashier-less&comma; there WILL be 7-Eleven employees at the stores&period; They’ll be there to reportedly handle the purchases of hot food as well as alcohol&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"p1">So&comma; this is how things are going to work&comma; customers will need a 7-Eleven rewards app to complete their transaction&period; The new &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;scan and pay” is reportedly meant to build customer loyalty by allowing customers to skip lines and the headaches that come with them&comma; said Chief Digital Officer&comma; Gurmeet Singh&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"p1">Now this isn’t something hasn’t been tested&comma; so before y’all start talking about the five-finger discount&period; It seems 7-Eleven has really put some thought into their strategy to build their customer loyalty with this new feature&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p class&equals;"p1">During this testing phase&comma; 7-Eleven originally housed the Scan &amp&semi; Pay feature in a separate app than its rewards app but found that customers wanted the experience in one place and have 7Rewards loyalty points applied when they checked out&period; Singh said 7-Eleven rewards program 7Rewards has 17 million members&period; The company plans to roll out the new feature come 2019&comma; &num;Roommates&comma; will you be using the new app<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Source&colon; <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;digiday&period;com&sol;marketing&sol;7-eleven-testing-new-scan-go-technology-let-customers-pay-without-cashiers&sol;">https&colon;&sol;&sol;digiday&period;com&sol;marketing&sol;7-eleven-testing-new-scan-go-technology-let-customers-pay-without-cashiers&sol;<&sol;a><&sol;p>&NewLine;
