Isn’t there a store that already completely solved this problem like 20 years ago? There’s a convenience store in Barcellona and I believe there were also Ocado Hive warehousing concepts originally intended for groceries and retail.
Walmart are just incompetent morons who think they need to push profit margins to infinite.
My guess is that a convenience store probably has about 50x fewer types of items than a Wal*mart.
