      Yes! Shops use lots of computers, especially the bigger chains / brands. The tills and payment systems are all computers, and larger shops have databases of their customers so they can send them newsletters, offers and information about new products etc. Some of the customer relations software is very sophisticated and uses machine learning / AI to personalise the communications they send.
