Ginger Market

I love the variety of Japanese import coffee, snacks and food that they have! Great variety, alright prices, and great location (imbedded into MacQuarrie hall). Some of the staff are really friendly, but some are kind of cold (i guess expected with college students).

Unfortunately, the prices have increased quite a bit year over year (coffee that used to be $1 is now $2.50). Also, this store was an experiment at a fully automated "seamless" checkout experience, but it seems that this has failed, and it's just a regular store now. The ceiling has around 20 security cameras that were used for this, which is pretty funny to look at now.

Autonomous checkout?! Smooth experience, downloaded an app, filled it out, checked in upon entry and voila! I went through the store, grabbed what I wanted and walked out. Frictionless and fast and easy.

So cool. If every store was like this, it would save so much time out of everyone’s life’s by not waiting in a check out line. A cool expérience and the sushi was delicious

Self checkout is quick and easy. Never a line!
