Back to retail, and I haven't heard of Amazon's Four Star stores (what are they? are these just the Amazon stores as referred to in the Graun above, or something else?) but I have seen the arrival of 'dark stores'. Look a bit like shops from the outside but function as warehouses, or as they're called nowadays 'fulfilment centres'. We have a Zapp-It not far away, tucked between a printer and an art gallery, where there used to be (until the early 90s) a motorcycle dealer (APS, if anyone's heard of them). They have fleets of e-bikes for delivery, as well as (petrol) scooters and I think small cars even. So in employment terms, there is still employment being created, but probably less of it, and much of it will be zero-hours and (at best, depends how fast you ride) minimum pay. Whether their shelves are automated I don't know – I expect they're still using humans.
