If you went to a supermarket and found it had no cashiers(收银员),would you still pay for your things?Cashier-free supermarkets are developing fast abroad. It's reported that a convenience store was located in Jianguomen,Beijing last year. Customers could pay with Alipay or put cash in an honesty box(诚信箱).

In the first hour, about 30 customers came into the store. Many successfully followed the given directions, scanned the QR code and paid online. Some of the customers paid in cash directly into the box. A few customers did not understand how to pay and left. In the afternoon, customers were not so honest. Three women came into the store, grabbed expensive items and left. A man walked in, put 10 Yuan on the counter and asked staff, "Is this the cashier-free supermarket?" Without waiting for an answer, he grabbed expensive alcohol and cigarettes and walked out.

Hu Tao, general manager of Sesame Credit, hopes that the experiment helps people realize the importance of honesty.

Many believe that the cashier-free model would not work long-term in China.

Students at a middle school in Guangdong also faced a test of honesty. In their school supermarket, they need to scan their things, and put the money into the cash desk all by themselves. By now, the supermarket runs very well. Students say they enjoy the feeling of being honest.
