Youtube Summary
We randomly found a cashier-less, employee-less convenience store in Yiwu, China, and of course we had to try it out. But once we did, I was dying to know more about how the technology worked. So I took some of the RFID tags back to my apartment in Shenzhen, and started taking things apart!

This is the last video from my trip to Yiwu, China with Collin Abroadcast. Go see the first two videos:

> Purchase and checkout items while you shop, rather than waiting in line at a cash register. Or just skip shopping in person and order everything via delivery.

I believe this is starting to happen in some places, example (and an interesting video on RFID tags in general)

This video of "Inside the RFID Stickers from a Chinese Cashier-less Store" (around 9:20 and again at 12:20) was a real eye-opener to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QKrHi-G9WQ

They are incredibly cheap, partly because they use so little metal and such a small chip, and instead have the reader by much powerful.

That's why they can put RFID tags on small individual cheap items and not be at a loss.
