She regularly uses the store's most prominent tool, the Personal Shopping Assistant (PSA) - a cart-mounted computer that advertises sales as she moves from section to section and keeps a running total of purchases. A central computer ensures that the prices in the PSA sync with those of the store's 37,000 radio-controlled price tags. Some products even have chips that tell "smart shelves" when inventory is low - or even how many times...
