These goods are placed immediately onto a conveyor (传输) belt, where they travel a few feet to the checkout. When it is finished, the customer drives forward, pays for the goods and drives off with them.Mr Kurmanbievich said the invention is directed at “solving the technical problem of improving the quality of customer service while providing probable convenience and choice of products, reducing time to service customers, cutting the queue time and lowering the costs of the supermarket”. Socalled drivethrough supermarkets have already been tried by some big supermarkets, but these operate more like clickandcollect services as customers have to order their goods online between two hours and three weeks in advance.While the drivethrough supermarket would need a lot of space and infrastructure (基础设施) investment to get off the ground, it would bine the consumers convenience and speed of buying goods online with the sales opportunities that e with product discovery on store shelves.Its great while fuel prices are low.
