FACT: A video of Unmanned Store has been shared with the claim that In China, unmanned supermarkets cover all parts of the country but fact is that It was over as quickly as it had begun. After opening of unmanned stores in 2017, at the beginning of 2018 the industry started seeing a series of closures and even bankruptcies. Funding is said to have fallen sharply, though media and research companies have stopped collecting data.
