Hi there,
Automated retailing is like having a vending machine that sells more than just snacks and drinks. It's when a store or a kiosk is set up without any people to help you shop. Instead, you visit the store or kiosk and use a touch screen to choose what you want to buy.
The system is designed to be very easy to use, so you don't have to be a grown-up to figure it out. Once you've selected what you want, you can pay with a credit card or some other type of payment, and then the product will be dispensed to you from the machine or the kiosk.
This type of retailing is becoming more popular because it can be set up in almost any location, and it doesn't require a lot of maintenance or upkeep. Automated retailing can be found in airports, malls, and even on the street, so it's really convenient for people who want to buy something quickly and easily.
Overall, automated retailing is like having a store that's always open and ready for you to shop in, even if there's no one else around to help you out.
