If you think self-checkout counters are new, you need to see this vending machine supermarket from 1948. Founded by Clarence Saunders (who also founded Piggly Wiggly), Keedoozle was supposed to be the self-serving store of the future.
Unfortunately, the concept created by Saunders was far too complicated to work. Selecting an item required shoppers to have keys. Even if consumers did figure out the system, the technology of the time could not keep up. It didn't work out for Saunders, though the idea is still an interesting one and it's cool to see it in action.
Take a look!

Customers shopping.
One customer makes their selection with their key.
One shopper's selection dropping onto the conveyor belt.
kad tu utk buat selection la ye? ke ade kredit mcm touch n go? trus bayar gune kad....mcm smart plak kan.... kedai pon lebih tersusun...tapi applicable kat barang kering je la...
