Amazon Grocery Stores... No Lines, No Checkout

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Just grab the shit that you want an walk out the door. I like it.

Looks like you Seattle guys will get to try this out first in early 2017.

[Sam Odom]

No

need more not less jobs

[senseionline]

wonder what happen during power outage

[Sam Odom]

Sammy would steal diggie's phone

walkout with 50 bags full

[sportsfan9698]

Amazon = anti American

just ask anybody that has worked for them.

There would need to be a couple layers of security at the entrance point. I could see people trying to blend in with customers and then running out the door with their stuff.

steaks

Sammy, you better fill up 20 bags of beer too because I'm coming over to watch football.

[freeVICK]

Walk in. Turn phone off. Walk out with everything

You are thinking like they would like to actually test it... but that is not the case. They will launch in some DB urban place within the whole foods store... and claim it is all legit as millionaires are thrilled to pay with not speaking to anybody.

What a crock

[KickShootThrow]

reppin' seattle!!

[d2bets]

I don't see why this would be exclusive to Amazon. Couldn't any chain store do this with an app? Does Amazon have some patent that prevents it?

As for the idea, it's asking for trouble. I can see arguments over what was purchased. Checkout not that hard.

[Chi_archie]

Walk in without phone app

how will anyone know if some bum/ thug just goes in there to protest/loot?

Gonna spend a ton on security to replace cashiers at first I guess

i hope it works out because check out lines are EASILY the most frustrating thing in my life. 80 % sure I die of a heart attack in a check out line someday.

Watch the vid one more time - you can't get in, unless you scan your Amazon wallet. That scan will more, than likely create a temp debit auth on your acct or check if you have a valid CC on file.

Their system would work very similarly to an RFID tag in which when an item of stolen clothing is passed through the RFID sensors near the exit of a store an alarm goes of.

In Amazon's case there is no alarm, this event instead would trigger the Amazon Go app to add items to the the customer's cart and charge your card when you walk out.

Brilliant technology all around!

They're testing it as we speak with one store - open for Amazon employees only!

You have to scan each item as you grab it.

Ain't nobody got time for that shit, Giant.

What about kids there with their parents? What about older people that go together to shop?

I guess they could try to run it like Sam's club where you have to swipe your Sam's card before being allowed in the store.

I am thinking about boycotting businesses that attempt to cut people and jobs out of the equation. Maybe start a movement.

Remember when you didn't have to pump your own gas?

Still don't daggles. A gas station in my area does things the old school way. You can have them pump your gas for you

Thats pretty sweet, Smokey.

Dont see anything like that around here.

Do you get fresh milk delivered in bottles to your porch every morning too?

No I wish lol. That would be sweet!

[grease lightnin]

No. I remember when my grandma went thru the full service lane tho.

I hear what you're saying, but read The Masque of Red Death by Edgar Allen Poe and get back to me.

[thellama]

As an employer myself, those little dirtbags and their 15 bucks an hour can reap what they sow. Of course we just know it was the labor unions spending millions and it was far from a grass roots campaign, but they got what they wanted. Anything that saves me time I am for. Time is the most valuable thing any of us have, and we can't buy more of it... but this is close.

I hope Costco does that too.

[The Kraken]

Go capitalism!!!!!

Put millions out of work.

The cashiers that $5/hr gonna get put out of work nationwide

Yet Brooks still thinks it's a min wage issue, what a moron

[thunderous]

Remember when you didn't have to pump your own gas?

Here in Jersey we still don't pump our gas and more disturbing is the fact that we can't even if we want to.

[thellama]

Yes, it's also 'illegal' for us to pump our own gas in Oregon.

That store is located in the middle of the $15 an hour sector, those clerks wouldn't have been making 5 bucks. When wages raise to the point where expensive tech starts to become worth implementing, companies will implement it. So what's to keep someone from just walking in and walking out with food? Is there going to be a greeter at the door making sure everyone 'checks in'?
