It is quite strange that when you walk into a store, you see no shop assistants(助手) inside. You pick up things and get ready to wait in line and pay. But it’s also odd that there’s no shopkeeper waiting for you to check out(结账). So what has happened to the store?
Well, you may have come into Tao Cafe, a cashless(无现金的) store designed by Alibaba. The store sells drinks, fast food and snacks. 50 shoppers can go shopping in the store at a time. To get in and shop, people only need a smartphone with a Taobao app and an Alipay account(账户).
By scanning(扫描) the Taobao QR code(二维码), shoppers can get into the store. The store has also got the information of all things and their places on the shelves. So when shoppers pick up the things they want, the store itself will “watch” and “remember” their choice. When shoppers are ready to leave, they don’t wait in line to pay. Instead, they go through two checkout doors. Then the bill(账单) will soon be paid with a Taobao account through Alipay.

One day I had a big fight with one of my classmates. I was so angry that I hit him in the face. Just at that moment , Bill stood up and stopped the fight. He was the monitor of our class.
