Fresh meat: 24 hours a day.......
When McCann's Local Meats reopens on June 1, it will have implemented some changes that would have been more difficult during the unrelenting flow of day-to-day business.
The most obvious change will greet customers when they open the front door of the shop in the South Wedge neighborhood in Rochester, New York.
Standing in the shop's reconfigured vestibule will be a large refrigerated vending machine. Its nine levels of revolving shelves will be stocked with things like freshly cut uncooked steaks, burgers, sausages, pork chops, chicken and bacon. There might also be some of the shop's prepared foods, such as mac salad, potato salad, macaroni and cheese, baked beans and soup. The machine will accept credit cards and Apple Pay, but no cash.
McCann sees the vending machine as a way to serve customers who want minimal contact during the coronavirus pandemic, as well as to sell products when the shop is closed.
So someone who gets a midnight craving for a nice pork chop can vend their own.
What a great idea!
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
Matt
