How the COVID-19 pandemic could change the retail industry

- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- Non-essential services like retail stores and shopping centres have had to shut down temporarily to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Many people are wondering what our shopping experience will look like once lockdowns are lifted. Experts tell us that measures like contactless shopping and curbside pick up are likely to continue and we may see changes to way we navigate stores.

All customers need jobs to be customers
You know what a Universal income is?
@5kayonekiller Universal income is the concept that all citizens get a fixed amount of money to pay for basic living expenses, and have jobs to supplement their income.
Thus, you'll never be in the situation of having to decide between rent, food, medical expenses and gas money, only choosing a few and forgoing the rest. No more "do I starve or pay the rent?"
It will also allow people to have time for their families or pursue higher education for better jobs. More flexibility for a higher quality of life. The fine details would have to be tweaked by the policymakers for this to be viable.
@5kayonekiller Nope, not communism. It's closer to socialism, they're not the same thing.
Universal income would get you the bare minimum to survive, but you can get more by having a job in whatever field. The job income will vary greatly amongst people, so some people will have more than others, but there's wiggle room.
Universal income (basic stuff) + Job income (extra money for other things)
Communism would mean everybody's income is exactly the same, and you're not allowed more and personal property isn't a thing.
@@aureliuszeta3037 Socialism and communism are the same and they don't mean everyone's income is the same, it means the state controls the means of production. A universal basic income is neither socialist nor communist since private ownership of enterprise is both still allowed and indeed encouraged.
there is the classic store
let's call it 1.0
products almost never change
the owner chose the products
it is boring
now, there must be a new store
let's call it 2.0
products always change
people choose the products there will be via an app
on the app, there is a huge catalog, people choose the products that will show up in the store
the store is constantly being supplied with the products people choose.
I am sorry, but I am not a fan of being articles of clothing, shoes etc. online. I would much prefer to see these items in person so that I can feel comfortable about the purchase. Retail needs to stay, as buying everything online presents many variables that I'm not willing to gamble on.
I completely respect your choice....but I only shop online....
The problem is people try those things on in the store, and so when you try them on, you don't know if they're contaminated from the last person.
Catch 22 is that once that a person has found a brand and size they like in store, they will buy those things again but on line. But that's my view.

It wont be a permanent change. Social distancing is temporary. Remember there have been pandemics before and we went back to the way we lived before, because we were not keeping distance permanently through our history.
I'm not worried
But the difference is time this the powers that be are pushing for this to become the "new normal" The agenda is quite blatant. Don't let them force social distancing or mandatory vaccines.
I agree it isn't permanent, but I do think things will change. Malls and retailers were already trying to increase online sales over in store sales. Warehouses are more economical to run. I work in a mall that has seen a big decrease in store fronts. With social distancing measures I suspect many companies will find the expensive floor space, payroll and overhead not worth while. The difference between this pandemic and ones of the past is the internet.
@@albert4860 isolation was used to contain the Spanish flu in 1918.
this will be a permanent change. this whole global lockdown has never happened in human history ever, even during the spanish flu(which you cannot compare to because it came on the heels of a world war that destroyed europe and had millions of diseased and weakened men spreading the virus across destroyed countries with non existent infastructures and it was also 102 years ago...) this is all a expensive experiment the so called elites and experts are perpetrating upon the masses. if you look at the new numbers or even just take a look where this virus is supposedly rampaging hard in(elderly long term care homes) then you'd know it doesnt justify the shutting down of the global economy and the forced house arrest(its actually voluntary but they dont like telling you that) of the healthy population. how can you spew ignorance when these 'experts' and media keep beating you on the head with the fact that this is the new normal? all of these draconian measures like socialist distancing or orwellian spying apps they want you to download on your phone? the economy has been trashed so that already guarantees things wont return to the normal you knew anyways. people need to stop being so naive.
times are changing ...just saying doubt there'll be another pandemic in 100 yrs for humanity to saviour enjoy it while you can or maybe it'll be a regular thing
since march ive only bought groceries, alcohol, and toiletries... and i still have my job, are ppl really clamouring to get back to shopping?? for what?
Maybe clothes? Which are an essential Im 36 week pregnant and since all the malls have been closed Ive got nothing to wear really for summer. It may not be essential to you but theres mothers and other people who might be in need of a wardrobe?
It is so interesting to think of how people might make different choices after the pandemic. My husband and I stopped going to malls a couple years ago and I do not miss it at all. I do miss the thrift stores, though!
If you want my money you better change it back lol.
It makes me cringe so hard when I see "contactless" payments where people smear their dirty phones on the surface of the scanner. You aren't protecting anyone by having touchscreens, phone to scanner payments, and a retail experience where you need to be touching your phone (the dirtiest thing you come in contact with each day).
Think about how many of those people do not wash their hands after using the loo. It is pretty gross
@@AnnaLVajda I am really bad for that. but I make sure I use disinfecting wipes to disinfect my phone after I use the toilet
All this social distancing blah blah sounds good but it's impractical specially for poor and for people who see world with their eyes not on social media platforms.
Germs are nothing new people. This had gotten way out of control. How many times before this pandemic happened did you have a cold and cough or sneeze into the air. How many times did your kids come home from school with notes about something going around. How many times did you go into a public restroom that was dirty and unsanitary.
This pandemic had turned us so paranoid that we even are fine with our freedoms being taken away from us. It amazes me that we just celebrated VE Day, which I am sure most Canadians had no idea, and we have become so complacent about our right and freedom's being infringed upon.
I feel like an old guy and I am 32, reason for that is because I hate things changing, I can't even imagine shopping in virtual reality or any of that sort, I love ebay and do use automated payment stations at stores, but some of the things that are coming out, I hope I never become part of it.
Id love to know who is responsible for global news becoming worse with every broadcast
@true.aquarian eyes i could, but then i wouldnt know what tactics evil people are using to manipulate the terrified masses
People want to get out and do things and not just live online for their whole lives. Why all the push for automation? So the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Why does it seem that all news stories have such angles?
Nothing will be the same for long time 🕊🌱🕊🌱🕊🕊💫🕊💫🕊❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼
i agree...save your money folks
True
Online order.
Even when the pandemic ends we must still social distance? Lol no i,m not doing that
the doctor airsoft do you even know what the definition of a pandemic is ?
@@munzamy Yes i,m well aware.
No idea how this is related.
Thank you!
Well it's not ending anytime soon, especially in Texas, so get used to it.
Jessica H governments made the virus, the elites are depopulating the planet through biological warfare!
McDonalds will have to change those ordering panels because of possible virus contamination between customers from our hands. Maybe it’s better to place our order at the cashier.
I really don't want to try on a shirt someone with covid has. It's bad enough seeing someone else's deodorant stain or lipstick stain on the clothes. 😷
The social aspect of shopping at malls, you don't get online, people will come back but it will take time.
Right, more scare tactics to push globalization.
Borders have been closed. International trade has been affected immensely. What are you even talking about? This pandemic has had a huge de-globalizing effect.
Online retail, Amazon, cashless society, it’s all part of globalization. I’m amazed people can’t see through this. It’s all part of getting us to subtly slip into apathy, just send us our weekly govt scrip so we can spend it at the company store.
@@StufiBuy how is ordering on Amazon and using a credit/debit card going to make anyone slip into apathy? These things have been around long before the pandemic, except back then we also had international travel, outsourcing, trade, real estate, etc. After the pandemic these things are being heavily restricted.
If anything, the de-globalizing effect of the pandemic has been making people slip into apathy. Knowing that you can't travel, go on a vacation, enjoy your time abroad, or do business abroad has been taking a toll on people.
The video pushes online shopping, online shopping naturally leads to even greater monopolization of industry, monopolization equals control.
You honestly can’t see anything wrong with buying all of your necessities just a few conglomerates who only accept credit cards and who mail you those necessities by way of a federally controlled mail service? Nothing about that makes you think uneasy?
These suggested measures will further destroy small business and frighten people away from peaceful assembly and protest. Whether that’s their intended purpose I can’t say.
My experience, stores and convenience stores shut down washroom to customers...honestly goes against humanity especially if a child has to use the facilities...not cool when child can't hold it .
Just say your having to use the loo is an emergency and they will let you in. I had to do that the other day while I was at a pet store
Well they didn't give us any extra janitors or staff to clean the restrooms. My mom made us kids potty before we left the house, so we hardly had to use nasty public restrooms.
Malls are actually struggling.
Loitering and spitting on property while smoking cancer sticks should and will be a thing of the past.
Can we put an end to 'fast fashion'? Stores like forever 21 and junk like that. Stores with new seasonal stock 8-16 times a year. 8-16 seasons of fashion for all the people addicted to their credit cards to buy. I hope the lockdown is making some shopaholics quit cold turkey.
I think online will be the new venue
Gone are the days. Cold coffees only.

Just get back to normal . Not this ridiculous set up . Lanes to walk in , social distancing ( how I hate those words ) , sales staff in masks hiding in terror behind screens.
Retail has been destroyed.
Very interesting as well as informative
stop buying
So if everyone went to open a shop online, meaning huge competition online so we will need visibility of our business, so let's open a physical shop to increase our online revenue... we are back at the beginning again
What malls, nobody shops at malls anymore what world is that lady living in
So no clubs no dirty dancing with hot sweaty strangers?! What's the world come to
I hate it here 😫
@MICHAEL SCOTT 🤢🤮
you say so most people do not know what business is open now i dont
Na America is done let tell the real story it ova for the USA it not a game
We broke the record the last two days. Irresponsible people made it like the shutdown was a waste. Should have just gotten the crybaby adults to social distance and wear masks.
This is so silly!
“God will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more neither will morning Not outcry nor pain be anymore”revelation 21:3,4
Whos got a sailboat for sale? I'm looking to retire.
This is kinda ridiculous.
Nope. People are fickle, max five years and behavior will go back to normal.
Ask Google Marks & Spencer clothing made in China
Will are all turning into ghosts living in a dead world unless we awaken our consciousness fast
Canada has become a Fool's Paradise🤤
Bo Jackson ya your part of the select group of idiots.
This is ridiculous a new way of shopping something isn’t right. Maybe the anxious people about getting the virus should stay home and let the other people be normal.
Nope. I live in a small city and nobody respects social distancing or stays at home. Nobody will accept your "new normal" we don't consent.
Yikes. Be sure to hug your grandmother or mother each night. You never know when someone who "doesn't consent" to public safety makes them sick.
@@InvisiMan2006 Yes, I definitely give a hug to my mother every time I see her. Shes ones of the few things I truly care about in this world. So I won't let the government tell me that I can't go see her or give her a loving hug when I do.
@@albert4860 I think you're missing the point entirely. It could be because of YOU that your grandmother gets sick and/or dies, which is why we all need to follow the rules and protect each other. I don't stay home to protect my own grandparents (they are already dead and gone) - I stay home to protect yours.
I need some new cloths before this started. When I’m let back out how in the hell will I try them on? I’m not touching something that perhaps 20,50,100 other people touched. Also how in the he’ll can I afford anything. It will be a long time till people have any money to spend and are ok with being out in a mall
