EDITOR’S COMMENT SHARE YOUR NEWS AND VIEWS WITH ME AT ABEGLEY@55NORTH.COM

AMAZON FRESH IS JUST ANOTHER DATA PLAY Having been lucky enough to visit the original Amazon Go store in Seattle with a bunch of retailers, I was just as interested as everyone else last week to see the global tech giant open its first Amazon Fresh store in London.

What fascinated me most about the new London store was exactly the same thing that fascinated me when I visited Seattle a few years back: the reaction the store provokes.

Generalising enormously, most reactions were around how good or bad the store is when compared to other stores. How it looks, what the range is like, what the pricing’s like, that sort of thing. And, of course, the tech.

The tech works. We know that for a fact, and we also know that it is effectively unique in the UK – at least in terms of being applied on a commercial scale in the real world. There are some great cashierless solutions out there, but none as frictionless as Amazon’s ‘just walk out’ tech.

But the most fascinating thing about the reactions to the new store is that comparing the store with another store in these terms – range, merchandising, in-store tech and so on – is utterly

beside the point. The point of Amazon Fresh is customer data. Which should hardly come as a surprise because the point of everything that Amazon does is data.

What Amazon’s bricks and mortar stores do is begin washing away the boundary that exists between online and offline sales channels. To put it in a slightly different way, walking into Amazon Fresh is basically like walking into the Amazon website. To even get into Amazon Fresh, you have to scan the app – thereby identifying yourself.

That way Amazon can track everything you do in the store, just the way they can when you visit its website.

Stuff you bought, stuff you lingered over but didn’t buy, stuff you put in your basket but then took out, how long you looked at a certain fixture – all these things are standard fare in online analytics. But now Amazon is bringing those same principles to the real world. The implications are beyond enormous.

Amazon Fresh is just another data play, but it’s one with very significant ramifications for everyone competing with Amazon – which pretty much means everyone.

Bestway Wholesale announced the restructure of Costcutter Supermarkets Group (CSG) on Monday as the first step of the integration of the newly acquired business.

MD Dawood Pervez confirmed that the two businesses would be integrated to “unlock additional value for customers and streamline efficiencies”. He said: “We want to ensure that all operating divisions are focused on delivering value for our customers, and on elements that matter most to them in order to continue to deliver service excellence and accelerate growth.

“By aligning CSG’s structure and process within our broader business, this helps us prepare for the challenges and opportunities ahead. We will be looking to minimise job losses within

this process, which will be unrolled over the weeks ahead. We recognise that these changes will be difficult for colleagues and we will be doing everything we can to fully support those affected”.

Following on from announcements from Smiths News and News UK regarding delays to their carriage charge reviews, the NFRN has been in communication with Menzies Distribution to discuss its position.

As a result, Menzies Distribution has advised that it has not undertaken any review at present, and cannot commit to an actual date when this will take place.

Traditionally, Menzies announces any changes to its carriage charge template in mid-February, for commencement at the start of April. Therefore, until further notice Menzies carriage charges remain unchanged.

Shopworkers should be given the same protection as other frontline workers as part of the newly announced Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, says the NFRN. The Bill will see maximum penalties doubled from 12 months to two years for those who assault police or other emergency workers, helping to protect those who put their lives on the line to keep communities safe. The NFRN says retail staff are just as much in the firing line.

NFRN National President Stuart Reddish said: “We have been calling for better protection of shopworkers for many years.

“While we fully appreciate that emergency workers regularly put

themselves in danger and should receive better protection from the law, retailers and their staff face similar situations all the time.”

In January, the Scottish Parliament passed the Protection of Workers Bill that makes attacking a store worker a specific offence, while assaults or abuse relating to the sale of age-restricted products – such as alcohol or tobacco – also become an aggravating factor in law, attracting higher penalties.

The NFRN is calling on MPs in Westminster to now support the Assaults on Retail Workers (Offences) Bill presented by Alex Norris MP in 2020 and amend the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill to include attacks on shopworkers.

The latest data from Barclaycard, which sees nearly half of the nation’s credit and debit card transactions, reveals that spending on essential items in food and drink specialist stores, including convenience stores, saw record growth of 63.3%, 7.5% higher than reported in January.

Supermarket expenditure was up 17.4% overall, with online grocery spend surging 115.2% as many Brits continued to rely on home deliveries for food shopping. Fuel spend, however, declined 30.2%, as travel restrictions and working from home kept commuters off the roads.

SHOPPER CONFIDENCE HIGHEST IN A YEAR Shopper confidence is at its highest level in over a year, according to the latest IGD Shopper Confidence Index, driven by the announcement of the planned easing of lockdown restrictions and the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccination programme.

February’s score increased for the second month running to -4, which is the highest level since February 2020.

The highest increase in confidence

was amongst shoppers aged 35-44 and those with children, which is likely to be a result of schools returning.

With more than one in three adults receiving a vaccine and plans to reopen society, 23% of shoppers expect to be better off (+4% vs last month).

Shoppers are also less fearful of food prices rising: 76% expect food prices to be more expensive (-4% vs since last month).

LOCKING EASING IN SCOTLAND BEGINS ON FRIDAY

PAY WITH A GLANCE

T

THE SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT IS SET TO BEGIN EASING LOCKDOWN

he Scottish government has unveiled details of how the country will move out of lockdown with the first easing of restrictions set to take place as early as this week. From Friday, up to four adults from two households will be able to meet outdoors for social and recreational purposes, as well as exercise. The household rule is being relaxed further for those aged between 12 and 17, making it possible for four teenagers from four different households to meet outdoors.

The plan also includes a lifting of the ‘stay at home’ rule on 5 April.

The move is part of a shift back to the levels system used earlier in the

pandemic and will see “progressive easing” of the current level four restrictions when ministers feel it is safe to do so.

Next Friday will see the start the next phase of school pupils’ return.

Pupils in P4 to P7 will return full-time, while all secondary pupils will go back for some face-to-face teaching on a part-time basis.

TECH SOLUTIONS

RESTRICTIONS FROM FRIDAY AS PART OF A LONGER TERM PLAN.

A Russian food retailer, X5 Retail Group, has launched ‘pay with a glance’ tech solutions at self-service checkouts in 52 of its Perekrestok supermarkets. Working with Visa and Sberbank, the tech uses biometric identification and may ultimately be rolled out to around 3,000 X5 stores by the end of this year, subject to a successful trial.

RETAILERS RECOGNISED IN CENSUS Taking place on 21 March, this year’s census is not only about collecting essential information, it is also about celebrating ordinary people and the extraordinary contributions they have made to their communities. Census 2021 will be the 22nd census of England and Wales and to mark the occasion, the Office for National Statistics is awarding 22 local community heroes with bespoke purple plaques which can be displayed at either their workplace, home or in the wider community.

The competition awarded convenience retailers Mirta and Jason Beasant for their services to their local community in Laleston throughout the pandemic, providing parcels to those shielding and going above and beyond whilst running their local shop.

COVER STORY

FACE COVERINGS SGF LEGAL ADVICE

‘DON’T REFUSE SERVICE TO UNMASKED SHOPPERS’ FOLLOWING A NUMBER OF LEGAL ISSUES AROUND THE WEARING OF FACE COVERINGS BY SHOPPERS IN-STORE, SGF IS ADVISING RETAILERS NOT TO REFUSE TO SERVE SHOPPERS WITHOUT MASKS.

KEY POINTS Q Retailers cannot demand that an individual customer produce some form of exemption certificate.

Q The choice to carry an exemption certificate is the individual customer’s and there is no legal obligation upon them to do so.

Q If a customer says they are exempt from wearing a mask, there is no legal way of challenging them.

Q It is the customer’s responsibility and consequently enforcement does not rest with the retailer but with the police.

D

espite the high profile stance of several supermarkets who have denied entry to shoppers not wearing face coverings, the Scottish Grocers’

Federation (SGF) is advising retailers that they should not refuse to serve customers who are not wearing masks.

The SGF decided to take formal legal advice on the matter after several

10 I SLRMAG.CO.UK / ISSUE 46 / WEDNESDAY 10TH MARCH 2021

of its members received emails from lawyers representing disgruntled customers who were claiming harassment and seeking damages after retailers asked them to leave their

COVER STORY

FACE COVERINGS SGF LEGAL ADVICE

premises when they were not wearing face coverings.

There is some potential scope under the provision of goods and services section of the Equality Act 2010 for a customer to claim disability discrimination where they are refused service and are able to demonstrate that they have chosen not to wear a mask because of an underlying disability.

SGF’s advice suggests that a customer might be able to claim that by being refused serviced they have been treated less favourably and potentially subject to harassment because of disability. It is quite a “remote claim”, meaning that it does not carry particularly high value, but it is clear that lawyers are trying to position this claim even if it is only to secure settlement from retailers rather than actually raising litigation.

The Scottish Government has advice on face coverings and enforcement measures for non-compliance.

The guidance notes state that “people responsible for relevant premises where face coverings are required should take reasonable steps to promote compliance with the law”.

It is important to note that retailers cannot demand that an individual customer produce some form of exemption certificate. The choice to carry an exemption certificate is the individual customer’s and there is no legal obligation upon them to do so.

It follows that if a customer chooses not to wear a mask and they say they are exempt from wearing a mask, there is no way of challenging them.

“Staff should not refuse to serve a customer where they are not wearing a mask as there might be some form of underlying disability and a potential for disability claims to follow.

It is the individual’s responsibility and enforcement does not rest with the retailer but rather the police.

SO WHAT SHOULD RETAILERS DO? SGF advises that the best risk management tool here is to train staff that if somebody does not wear a mask they cannot be refused service.

It follows that it is quite difficult to actually challenge a customer who is refusing to wear a mask.

The legal ‘remedy’ for this type of disability discrimination, if indeed that could be made out, is an injury to feelings award which might be in the region of £200 to £500 per customer.

There would be a number of obstacles to an individual customer raising this claim, not least the question of how the retailer could know that the person was disabled.

Clearly disability discrimination can only arise in circumstances where there is actual or constructive knowledge of that disability status.

Again, that is why these claims seem quite remote but retailers should be aware that there are such risks.

In terms of managing this risk, staff should be trained in the regulations as detailed above. Evidently, there will be health and safety considerations and staff are perfectly entitled to ask someone why they are not wearing a mask. However, staff should not refuse to serve a customer where they are not wearing a mask as there might be some form of underlying disability and a potential for disability claims to follow.

– and with the support of a couple of Scotland’s leading local retailers.

The total Sugar Confectionery market is worth around £1.22bn and within this, PVM’s share is worth over £55m [IRI, Jan 2021]. These sales are driven primarily by the Mentos brand – worth £20m – and the Fruittella brand, worth £18m.

As part of this first ever InAction+ project, we’ll be working with PVM and leading retailers Natalie and Martin Lightfoot of Londis Solo Convenience in Baillieston in Glasgow and Ferhan Ashiq of Day Today Prestonpans.

SCOTLAND FOCUS The project is being driven as part of an upweighted focus on the Scottish market by PVM and at its heart is centred around the impulse occasion and the opportunity to grow unplanned sales and increase basket spends.

Confectionery remains one of the top purchases in local retailing and in this project, we aim to work with our partners to help unlock more opportunities to grow sales and profits.

HOW WILL IT WORK? We will be tackling this challenge together, working with PVM and our retailer partners to demonstrate how small changes can make a big difference in-store.

A new range of products and POS will be installed in both test stores and

sited in high traffic areas to help drive impulse sales.

Additionally, we will be supporting Natalie, Martin and Ferhan with a range of professionally designed social media collateral to help them advertise their new products to their customers on Facebook and Instagram.

Part of the project will also focus on the recently refreshed packaging and design for the entire Fruittella product range, across all 30 SKUs. The aim of the refresh was to grow the appeal of the brand to young adults.

Fruittella’s carbon footprint was reduced through the use of thinner and more lightweight packaging that will save over five tonnes of plastic annually.

So there is plenty of material for us to share

with our retailer partners and with their customers.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? Product and POS are currently being provided to our retailer partners and all in-store installations will be complete in the very near future.

In the next issue of The Week In Retail we will bring you an update of how those installations went along with some initial feedback on how the ranges are performing in the two stores.

We will also share exactly what we did in-store so that other retailers can make use of those learnings and experiences.

THE SUGAR CATEGORY AND PERFETTI VAN MELLE Q The total Sugar Confectionery market is worth £1.22bn.

Q Within this, PVM is worth over £55m.

Q These sales are driven primarily by the Mentos and Fruittella brands, worth around £20m and £18m respectively.

FOOD-TO-GO RUSTLERS

RUSTLERS UNWRAPS TAILORED FOOD-TO-GO SOLUTIONS KEPAK’S RUSTLERS BRAND HAS UNVEILED A RANGE OF FOUR DIFFERENT FOOD-TO-GO SOLUTIONS

L

THAT IT SAYS WILL “PROVIDE THE PERFECT SOLUTION FOR EVERY STORE”.

eading micro-snacking brand Rustlers has launched four new food-to-go concepts that it says will provide “the perfect solution for every store”.

Working exclusively with micro market specialists Nebrak, the range of solutions includes four different options to help stores of all sizes take their food-to-go offer to a new level.

“2020 saw a rapid change in consumer behaviour, namely the shift to more home working,” says Ross Davison, Convenience Controller at Rustlers owner Kepak Consumer Foods. “However, there are still 10.6 million people (33% of the total workforce) in key worker occupations and industries [ONS, May 2020] who continue to seek meal options throughout the day. Retailers need to appeal to these consumers by offering a 24/7 hot food-to-go solution.”

With a roadmap outlining the easing of restrictions, retailers have a significant opportunity to make more money from their food-to-go fixtures with our bespoke range of instore solutions, believes Rustlers.

“This launch is more than just equipment, we will be providing a full food-to-go solution,” says Davison. “We’ll work with each retailer on range recommendations and category advice, plus we’ll provide a dedicated POS kit and installation as part of each package.

“From a small microwave up to a larger-scale multistation unit, Rustlers’ in-store cooking solutions are proven

16 I SLRMAG.CO.UK / ISSUE 46 / WEDNESDAY 10TH MARCH 2021

to boost sales whilst removing any concerns over waste and the additional labour costs associated with food-to-go counters.

Shoppers simply select, purchase and heat the Rustlers product in store, meaning there is no risk of hot products going to waste.”

The microwaves are pre-programmed to cook the Rustlers SKUs and can be used to cook other hot food-to-go products for a cross-category solution.

“As the UK’s number one Chilled Ready Meals brand, selling two packs every second [Nielsen, Jan 20212], retailers can use Rustlers as a beacon brand to bring more shoppers into store,” adds Ross.

“The Rustlers range fulfils both the functional and emotive need states of shoppers in search of a quick, quality, tasty food-to-go option and provides options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, making it a really valuable addition to the chiller cabinet.”

“Through our new innovative food-to-go solutions, and our best-selling product range, we are committed to helping retailers develop incremental opportunities from the chiller by providing convenient options that can be enjoyed in and out of the home,” concludes Ross.

“At a time when more people are cooking and experimenting at home, our vegetable side dishes, starters and Sharwood’s wrap kits have been well-received. As a result, the brand attracted an additional 3.8m shoppers last year versus 2019 [Kantar, Oct 2020]. Our new TV campaign will be

HARIBO BRINGS POLICE AD BACK

HARIBO’S POPULAR POLICE ‘KIDS’ VOICES’ AD HAS RETURNED TO TV SCREENS THIS WEEK – WITH A FRESH TWIST.

“After the past 12 months, we are certainly excited about bringing some joy and lighthearted fun back to their TV screens.”

Haribo is back on TV screens this week with its popular Police creative, part of the successful ‘Kids’ Voices’ campaign. The ad, which first launched last year, has added a tasty twist and will place the spotlight on new fruitier, juicier Starmix.

On air for nine weeks, the 30 second advert features a brand new scene that takes viewers back to the control room for the tastier Starmix announcement.

As consumers will be aware by now, each adult character is voiced by children and “celebrates the inner child and playful imagination that comes from enjoying Haribo sweets”.

Claire James, Trade Marketing Manager of Haribo UK, comments: “The popularity and anticipation of our ‘Kids’ Voices’ TV adverts builds each year, which is why we expect the return of this particular instalment to be just as likely to capture the childlike happiness from our fans as it did when it originally aired.

“After the past 12 months, we are certainly excited about bringing some joy and light-hearted fun back to their TV screens.”

NOW THAT’S A GOOD IDEA…

OUT THE BOX AMAZON FRESH HITS UK

AMAZON FRESH HITS UK AMAZON’S NEW ‘JUST WALK OUT’ STORE IN LONDON POTENTIALLY SIGNALS THE DAWN OF A NEW ERA IN THE CONVENIENCE RETAILING CHANNEL – BUT HOW MUCH OF A THREAT IS IT?

WHAT’S THE BIG IDEA? The worst kept secret in retail: Amazon Fresh opens its first ‘just walk out’ UK store in Ealing, West London.

QUIET LAUNCH THEN? Just a bit. Snaking queues around the block as shoppers took a liberal approach to social distancing to check the new store out.

SHOULD OTHER RETAILERS BE WORRIED? Yes. Despite many industry observers dismissing it as a single store with a questionable range and gimmicky technology, the move is potentially a watershed moment for convenience retailing in the UK.

WHY? In a word, data. Amazon already holds a colossal amount of personalised customer data thanks to its all-conquering online operations; its increasing presence in bricks and mortar retail through Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh means it is able to begin merging the online and offline shopping worlds. Mintel estimates that almost 95% of UK shoppers use Amazon, giving the tech giant access to an almost unfathomable amount of data and insight around

“Mintel estimates that almost 95% of UK shoppers use Amazon, giving the tech giant access to an almost unfathomable amount of insight around shopping behaviours.” shopping habits, trends, patterns and individual transactions – down to the individual human being level. Amazon Fresh extends that insight even further into the realm of bricks and mortar shopping.

ARE THE STORES ANY GOOD? In terms of ranging, merchandising and store environment, they’re decent, but not ground-breaking. It’s the tech that is special. On a trip to the original Amazon Go store in Seattle with a few local retailers from Scotland, we tried every insider trick in the book to try to steal something (after telling the staff we were doing it). We failed. The camera-based tech just works – and the bemused looks from staff suggested we weren’t the first to give it a go.

BUT IF THE STORES AREN’T THAT OUTSTANDING..?

That misses the point. Getting the store right is the easy bit.

Getting the tech right was the difficult and hugely expensive bit.

24 I SLRMAG.CO.UK / ISSUE 46 / WEDNESDAY 10TH MARCH 2021

NOW THAT’S A GOOD IDEA…

OUT THE BOX AMAZON FRESH HITS UK

IS THE TECH BETTER THAN OTHER OPTIONS? Frankly, yes. There are some fantastic solutions on the market for local retailers but they all involve at least a little friction that you don’t find with the Amazon solution. Shoppers scanning QR codes, scanning individual products as they go and so on is a huge step forward in terms of making the customer journey far, far simpler – but ultimately that tech will have to evolve into a full ‘just walk out’ solution.

SO IT’S ALL ABOUT TECH? No. Ultimately, it’s not the tech that matters. All truly great tech solutions become invisible. Tech should be a facilitating factor, not a goal in itself. Amazon clearly understands that.

The ultimate goal is sales, facilitated by tech and underpinned entirely by data. To see this in real life, ask yourself how many convenience stores that use clever in-store tech actually capture customer data and use it to drive future activity and decision-making. For Amazon, the tech only exists to allow the company to capture data. The sole purpose of the ‘just walk out’ technology is data capture. Yes, it makes the instore experience frictionless and seamless and novel and exciting and slick. But it’s the data that Amazon is after. The customer is almost literally the only thing that matters to Amazon – and to understand the customer at the deepest possible level, Amazon needs data. And not just data, data that’s personalised to the individual.

WHY PERSONALISED DATA? To enter Amazon Fresh you must scan in at the door – thus identifying yourself to Amazon. Everything you do thereafter is caught on camera and on the transactional log. Amazon knows everything you did in-store. What you bought, what you looked at but didn’t buy, what you picked up then put back, how long you spent at each fixture, how many promo items you bought, when you visited, how long you spent in the store, how often you visit the store. You get the idea.

WHAT DO THEY DO WITH ALL THAT DATA? Give customers very, very precisely what they want in every sense. And in the future we will see an increased merging

of online and offline by Amazon. That will impact on the customer experience on Amazon’s digital and bricks and mortar platforms.

SO, IS EVERYBODY THAT ISN’T AMAZON DOOMED THEN? Absolutely not. Even for a company of Amazon’s deep pockets, scaling up won’t be easy. And there are already significant ‘big brother’ concerns being raised about the potential breach of civil liberties as Amazon gathers personal data footprints that vastly outweigh those of any other business. This is potentially the biggest challenge that Amazon will face: the UK government stepping in to put the legislative shackles on Jeff and co’s immense data-gathering ambitions.

SO IT’S A RACE AGAINST TIME? Possibly. Amazon does have very, very deep pockets. In the fourth quarter of 2020 alone, the company’s revenues were a staggering and record-breaking $125.56bn. In three months.

For the full year, Amazon reported net profits of $21.33bn which was an 84.1% increase on the previous year. The point being, Amazon has the means to grow its convenience store estate quickly, if that’s what it plans to do. How big can it get before the government acts? And Amazon will undoubtedly argue that concerns about civil liberties clearly aren’t all that important to consumers, to the civilians the government is supposed to be there to protect.

RETAIL RANDOMS WONKY VEG / THE BALLOON AND PARTY PROFESSIONALS ASSOCIATION

THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT FRUIT AND VEG Here’s a thing. We’re all familiar with ‘wonky’ fruit and veg at bargain prices, but apparently there’s a curious logic behind badging it up as ‘wonky’.

New research from the University of British Columbia (UBC) shows that when it comes to selling misshapen fruits and vegetables, labeling them as “ugly” can actually be a recipe for sales success.

The trend of selling ‘imperfect’ fruit and veg apparently started back in 2014 when French supermarket chain Intermarché began marketing misshapen produce as “ugly.”

Until now, however, no one really knew why consumers rejected imperfect produce.

For the study, researchers at UBC conducted studies that tested the efficacy of ‘ugly’ labelling by having participants purchase produce at a farmers market and online, and by examining people’s preconceptions about misshapen foods.

Interestingly, they found that consumers expected the

BUY YOUR BALLOONS WITH CONFIDENCE

imperfect produce to be less tasty and even less nutritious.

The survey found, however, that when the produce is labeled “ugly,” consumer hesitancy disappears. Calling items “ugly” signals to consumers that the only difference between items is aesthetic and significantly increases their willingness to buy the less attractive produce.

Even though the ugly produce was sold at a 25% discount, it turned out to be more profitable for sellers as the cost of buying the ugly produce was lower.

Now, for the average shopper, the idea that there is an official ‘Association of Convenience Stores’ is probably a bit weird and niche. But it’s not anywhere as weird and niche as a trade body that The Week In Retail stumbled across this week. Ever heard of the Balloon and Party Professionals Association?

Apparently there is an official body for people that make balloons for parties. And they’ve just launched a National Awareness Campaign “to raise awareness of the exemplary insurance and peace of mind provided by choosing to buy from their members”.

The campaign urges consumers to ‘buy with confidence’ and highlights “the importance of knowing your balloon and party supplier”. Because nothing will ruin your granny’s 70th birthday party faster than poor quality balloons. Imagine the old dear making it through coronavirus only to keel over at the unexpected pop of a poorly manufactured balloon.
