With the added bonus of no human interaction.
We’d love to be the domesticated type who always has fresh flowers in a vase on the table.
But we are lazy. We’re also quite busy, and don’t fancy dedicating our precious spare time schlepping to a market to pick up a new bunch every Sunday. This new flower shop could provide an easy solution, allowing us to pick up all the floral decoration we desire on our commute home. In Clapham Junction, on the walkway between platforms seven and eight, you’ll find a new stall called Rockflower.The automatic unit is open at all hours of the day, every day, to allow people to pick up flowers whenever they’re passing through.
Think how handy that’ll be at 2am, when you’ve drunkenly pissed off your other half and could do with a romantic gesture, or after work when you’re racing to dinner with your mum for her birthday.As the stall is a machine, you also don’t have to put up with any human interaction to get your flowers. There’s a touchscreen to let you order, while the system allows the kiosk’s owner to track sales live and restock speedily if bunches run out.
