A woman’s video provided social media a glimpse into a futuristic store in China that operates 24/7.
The impressive clip, shared on TikTok by @skiinniiee_fay_fay__, was met with a wave of awe and debate about whether China was ahead or we were backwards as a country.
The video starts with the woman showing a 24-hour store in China that she says has no attendant and is a self-service store. The woman scans her phone to gain entry into the store, and the door opens. She gets in, takes an item, and scans it on a small robotic machine.

SA reacts to the self-serving store
The comments section was filled with reactions from social media users
who were mostly stunned. Many commented that such a system would never work in South Africa, citing the Chinese trust in the system and the strict security measures. Some argued that theft was unnecessary because everyone had basic human rights. They praised the Chinese government for lifting its citizens out of poverty.
Others suggested the scans linked to personal details such as IDs, names, addresses, and bank accounts. They claimed that the system could identify you by your face scan upon entry.
