I've looked online and can't find any real examples of QR code-only stores.

It seems like QR codes are growing in popularity as a way to look up more product details, user reviews, etc. -- especially at electronics stores.

But the idea of prices being hidden entirely doesn't seem to exist anywhere in normal consumer stores. There seem to have been some store experiments and retail "concepts" (prototypes not rolled out), but it seems like the consumer backlash is extremely strong so these experiments have stopped. Consumers want to be able to browse prices, that's pretty fundamental.

You see it a lot in "Convenience Stores" at gas stations now. I refuse to purchase anything like this.

Here's an example (not mine): https://old.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/1s0n9al/...

I also saw this in a gas station convenience store near me but I did not take a photo. I haven't seen it in a real grocery store yet.

There's a store in my neighborhood that only does app purchases and a little robot brings it out to your car. It's nice getting cilantro that hasn't been picked over by a hundred people, but I don't like shopping for groceries online, and AFAIK you can't actually enter the store.
