UPS patent file describes system that could decentralize private sales - The Next Web

The US patent office today revealed a United Parcel Service (UPS) patent application for a computerized item exchange “locker bank” that accepts numerous forms of payment including Bitcoin.

According to the application, UPS intends to build a storefront full of lockers for people to purchase items from without interacting with salespeople. It’s not explicitly stated in the document, but we’re pretty sure UPS just doesn’t want you to get stabbed to death trying to sell your Xbox

So this store is a giant vending machine?
Seems less useful than the New amazon stores where you just walk about with what you want and the scanner charges your card.
