High-tech innovations come to retailing (AP)



Macy's Womens Shoes Specialist Felicia Dixon holds their shoe locator technology at the Macy's Arlington, Va., store  Nov. 30, 2007.  Without leaving the customer's side, Dixon uses a small, handheld electronic device that essentially summons the shoes in the right style, color and size, from the stockroom. It's not quite magic: A clerk in the backroom receives the request electronically and brings out the merchandise.   (AP Photos/Susan Walsh)AP - Red pumps. Silver slingbacks. Bronze flats. Black suede boots. Size 7 1/2, please.
