Swiss farm shop tests unmanned NFC retail payments system
Eighty customers of a farm shop in the Zurich region of Switzerland have been equipped with NFC phones that automate the process of shopping for locally sourced farm produce, reports Near Field Communications. Unmanned farm shops are common in the region. Traditionally, local shoppers simply let themselves into the shop, work out the price they should pay for the goods they choose and then leave the money in an 'honesty box' for the farmer to collect later.
