I wonder why they could write "Fruit" as a complete word, but "Vegetables" was too long? It appears a few times in a few images. If it was shortened to be 'hip' you'd expect "Fru" and "Veg".

It's odd to see certain words being dumbed down in other countries, be it 'trimming' or using a version you'd use when communicating with children (as per usage presented in popular media, i.e. saying "eat your veggies" to a child).

But how does it work? The article only mentions that you scan your phone at the entrance. The tags don't seem to be RFID or anything special neither.

a bit of googling found a better article thats shows the cameras and sensors on the ceiling do the work.
