Morrisons (MRW:LSE) reveals shop with no employees: supermarket where customers can put everything in their bag and walk out. The bosses of supermarket Morrisons are about to reveal an unmanned shop where customers can put the items directly from the shelves in their pockets and walk out.

The supermarket giant, currently at the centre of a takeover battle, has been working secretly on the plan for more than a year and is likely to open a pilot shop to the public “in a few months”. Customers will need to download an app on their smartphone to be scanned upon arrival.
