Amazon's Cashier-Less Seattle Grocery Opens To The Public

Amazon on Monday will open its automated grocery in Seattle to the public, replacing cashiers with a smartphone app and hundreds of small cameras that track purchases.

For the past year, the 1,800-square foot mini-mart has been open to the company's employees.

There is no waiting in line for check out at Amazon Go, as the store is called — instead, its computerized system charges customers' Amazon account as they exit the store.

Last night, I noticed that the Berlin Walmart has removed all their self checkout equipment. I assume that means than we will see their Scan & Go system very soon here.

Good work liberals - keep pushing for that $15/hr. minimum wage. It doesn't matter if the wage is $50/hr. if there are no jobs left.

1:12 The shelves don't stock themselves. The sandwiches are made by people and put in containers. There are customer helper employees there. Just no cashiers/lines or cash to deal with. Do yo realized how much employee time is wasted on cash management in a large retail operation? Hundreds of hours.

4:13. Aim higher than stocking shelves and making sandwiches. The really good paying jobs are for those who design, build and install the technology that makes these stores a reality.

Aim higher? I own the property and rent it to the stores and to the people that design them.
